Good pictures for reference. First chapter breaks down the human body in a clear and useful way. Past chapter 1, though, it just describes the pictures being referenced. Could have been better.

I wish it contained more data and more resources, but I think some people might find value in it if they're looking for positive messaging and something that helps them feel more worthy of compassion.

I love how the characters grow closer together by learning to be further apart. What a great execution of the theme. It might be my favorite out of the 5 so far.

I wish it had gone more into the interactions with the parents and their relationship to work; it feels like their secret was meant to be something bigger, but it was never really explored. Still a good coming-of-age story.
