Navigating With You
A charming POC-led WLW romance where two new friends hit the road in search of the missing volumes of their favorite manga. Neesha Sparks is a disabled, vocal community activist with a passion for costume design. Gabby Graciana is an optimistic surfer - and, like Neesha, a new kid at school. When the two girls discover that they like the same manga series, Navigator Nozomi, they become more than just fellow new kids. But it was more than just having read the same book series--neither of them had finished it! Soon, they become new friends on a mission - to track down the remaining Navigator Nozomi books. This slice-of-life romance follows the two girls as they adventure across North Carolina to find each book, with their story intercut with the tales of Navigator Nozomi. Neesha and Gabby find more than just the books though—they find acceptance, friendship, understanding, and love.

Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review. This Graphic Novel was absolutely lovely and warmed my heart very much. It reminded me of how I met one of my best friends. I'm an introvert and she's an extrovert, we always joke that she forced me to be friends with her because she wouldn't stop talking, we've been friends for 13 years now. The art is beautiful and the characters are incredibly well developed. Whitley did an amazing job navigating the topics mentioned in the book. Not only will I recommend it to my bestie and her girlfriend, but I'll also recommend it to everyone. A very nice, heart warming read. Thank you so much!
