The first thing I check when I'm considering to read a graphic novel is the art style, which In Real Life was on point with. The art and the colour schemes were lovely. The story was surprising, as I picked this up based on its cover. It touched over a lot of problems and bases in our society. But I think these are all too big, complicated, and complex for this short graphic novel to properly express; it was rather a superficial brush over these issues. But nonetheless it was a cute, fluffy read with some serious issues and messages to convey.
