Rainbow Rowell

In Pumpkinheads, beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell and Eisner Award–winning artist Faith Erin Hicks have teamed up to create this tender and hilarious story about two irresistible teens discovering what it means to leave behind a place—and a person—with no regrets. Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends. Every autumn, all through high school, they’ve worked together at the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world. (Not many people know that the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world is in Omaha, Nebraska, but it definitely is.) They say good-bye every Halloween, and they’re reunited every September 1. But this Halloween is different—Josiah and Deja are finally seniors, and this is their last season at the pumpkin patch. Their last shift together. Their last good-bye. Josiah’s ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isn’t ready to let him. She’s got a plan: What if—instead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hut—they went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl he’s been mooning over for three years . . . What if their last shift was an adventure?

THIS WAS POSITIVELY DELIGHTFUL.
I. Loved. This. Absolutely everything about it! It was the perfect read for today and to start the fall season! I loved the LGBTQ representation, the witty banter, the autumnal scenery and setting. This was just so cute and sweet and I already want to read it again! Can't wait for October!

It was fine, pretty cute.

I'm a little bit disappointed in this one, it lacked the usual charm found in RR's novels. I liked the art but the format just didn't allow RR to work her magic. It's still a cute sory, but I won't be re-reading it.

This book is a delightful celebration of friendship and pumpkin patches. Such a joy to read! Read this when you want to escape the complications of the world for a bit.

I am absolutely DELIGHTED by this. 

Now I really want to go to a pumpkin patch even though it’s May.

This was really cute and made me wish Halloween was more celebrated here (with pumpkin patches like these all over the country). (view spoiler)[One thing I kind of disliked is how they basically ended up together. I want more platonic relationships, please, especially between a guy and a girl. P L E A S E. (hide spoiler)]

"Like every autumn smell all at once."
I honestly can't pull a better quote from this adorable story that better suits it. This is the perfect read for fall, especially if you're wanting a cute Halloween read. The colors and illustrations were great, such a beautiful fall aesthetic...so many autumnal vibes! The story was adorable, even though it was predictable for me. It gives me all the fall feels and it makes me want to visit that pumpkin patch or find one just like it. I also want to try a pumpkin bomb! It was such a treat to read!

Emma Wärnberg

Such a cute story! Its a bit simple but it warms your heart.

Katherine Yang

Adorable! Sweet fluff that's funny and endearing in both the dialogue and the graphic representation of scenes and moments. I will read absolutely anything Rainbow Rowell writes and Faith Erin Hicks' art pairs wonderfully with her style!

Jacqueline Englund

This will forever be my favorite fall read 🖤🎃🍂👻🕯

menna

This was so cute! Such a fun read for October!

Raquel 

This was extremely cute, I loved it!! 🥰

Jeannette Ordas

Sweet and fun graphic novel. I really loved wandering through the pumpkin patch with the two main characters & the girl was completely adorable. 3.5 stars.

Izza

3 stars | it’s alright. Predictable and I didn’t really like the art style.

Claudia Ganea

3.5/5

This was exactly what I expected it to be! Very cozy, very adorable and very fall-themed which is 100% what I was after when I picked it up (both because I wanted to read it and because it perfectly fit one of the Gilmore Girls readathon challenges).

The parts I loved, I really loved. (view spoiler)[ I loved Deja as a character immediately, and I very much enjoyed her sassiness and her seize-the-day attitude.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER FUDGE GIRL PUNS. THEY WERE INCREDIBLE.  And also???? SHE'S A FELLOW BI BABY THAT I WILL PROTECT WITH MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE THANK YOU!! I also loved the main idea of the story, that is to say, kids who are faced with a huge part of their life ending/changing and having to deal with that and accept that (I myself am not the biggest fan of change). I could totally relate to those feelings of "oh no what am I going to do with my life now that this big part of it has to end", and I feel like I got the sense of hope and growing up that the book was going for, which is a plus! In general, it was an easy, very cute and fluffy read, and I knew I was going to enjoy it precisely because of that. (hide spoiler)]

I only have one gripe with it, really. (view spoiler)[ I knew exactly what was going to happen from pretty much the beginning. I knew from the get-go that Josiah was going to have his epiphany and finally realise that Deja's the girl he actually likes. Her crush on him was also instantly obvious, so I could immediately see where the two were going to end up by the end. Not to say that it was completely predictable, because I did enjoy all the shenanigans that Josie and Deja went through on their adventure, but yeah, I totally saw it coming ten million miles away. I was honestly expecting for them to not end up together, because platonic relationships are just as good and valuable as romantic ones and I really liked them as friends who care about each other and want to always make each other happy, but, I mean, I can't be too mad at it either because I want Deja to be happy and if Josie's what makes that happen I'm good with it :D  (hide spoiler)]

Alright WOW did I ramble on! If you've read this too, definitely let me know what you thought!!

riven

This was so so so cute!!! The perfect pick me up especially during my reading slump.

A beautiful tale of finding common interests and learning to value those who put in the effort to value you.
