Review Detail

If You'll Have Me is an adorable graphic novel by Korean American illustrator Eunnie that shows the ups and downs of falling in love.

College students Momo and PG could not be more opposites and yet they are drawn to each other. Momo is a nerdy people-pleaser who never dated in high school. PG is the cool girl with a player reputation. Momo finds herself crushing on PG and overanalyzing every interaction. Just as Momo is falling for PG her friends plant little seeds of doubt questioning why PG would be with someone like her. Momo and PG quickly learn that communication is the key to any relationship whether it's romantic or not.

What I Liked: Momo is so relatable. The awkwardness and nervousness of her first relationship made me love Momo even more. Her illustrations have a distinct style with expressive characters that instantly captivated me. Although there are more and more books with diverse characters in 2023 If You'll Have Me's diversity felt authentic. Characters of different colors, sexuality, and body types are throughout the book.

What Left Me Wanting More: This was a quick read, but I would have liked to learn more about some of the secondary characters. I hope this means that Eunnie will write more stories based on characters from the book.

Fans of sweet romance graphic novels will love If You'll Have Me.
