NetGalley Review
I am very specific and picky about the art style of a comic and graphic novel and this book just so happened to meet my aesthetic requirements. However, it failed to please my literature requirements.
First of all, Mer is packed full with high school tropes and annoying cliches. I understand that there is a page limit; however, the entire story felt rushed, realistically speaking. But then again just look at the subject matter of this book.
I strongly feel that the characters did not remain their true selfs. I mean, honestly, do you think a girl is going to march up to a guy she didn't even know and accuse him of stealing her necklace? Really?
Sadly, the art style is the only thing this book has going for itself.

Beautiful artwork and a fun story. Good read for teens!

The story didn't grip me much and Aryn was slightly obnoxious.

I really wanted this one to be good. It was a really cute idea but it just didn't pan out. The plot was so rushed and the artwork was not my style.

I liked it! At first it was a little weird and everything happened too fast, but finally I liked the story, the plot and characters.
The drawings are colorful and I loved that but sometimes the faces are strange, I don't know why but sometimes the faces showed strange emotions...
And the end... I woul love another end, with them together but I understand that is quite open... maybe for a second book?
