Stage Dreams

This was such a cute, queer, and soft graphic novel and I loved it. 

This was an extremely short story, but it packs quite the punch in the time you spend with it. There are several key moments that I thought were so, so important to see in a graphic novel. I hope that this will be one that gets into a lot of peoples hands to read!

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "Man, there really aren't enough queer AF westerns in the world, are there?" (I have!), let me tell you, Stage Dreams is everything you've been looking for. It follows the heist of a Native woman and her new captive-turned-friend, a lovely trans southern belle escaping her father's wishes that she join the Confederate army. While the story takes place during the Civil War, not much of it actually focuses on that element; primarily, we're here to watch two ladies break into a party, steal a map, and fall in love in the process. It's cute, it's heartwarming, the art is lovely, and I enjoyed it so much.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
