Reviewed by lilli[2,5/5] Sadly ist was not that good I expected. But the drawings were very cute.
Reviewed by Denise NI loved the art! I don't think there's anything else to say about the art. For the story, it's really a coming-of-age and talks of the curiosity of our protagonist on learning about sex and pregnancy and domestic problems. I just felt there was something lacking. I didn't really take home anything with it but it did give a nice atmosphere of curiosity.
