Reviews

"Bina's smart, likable, and familiar, and her coming-of-age fears are palpably engaging as she learns that romance need not be romantic.Larson has a wonderfully sharp eye for her characters, including a range of skin tones, sexual orientations, and body types.Aftermatter includes Larson's explanation of her artistic process and is sure to inspire budding artists. Altogether perfect." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
