Review of 'Pixels of You' on 'Goodreads'

Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS Kids for an early arc

Pixels of You is a short but sweet graphic novel about the growing relationship between a human girl and an AI girl as they work to create an art exhibition together. I really liked the concepts presented; issues of gender, race, and advancements in technology. Even in the early stages of the art I can tell that it will be gorgeous when finished. The final events were my favorite part and I wish that it was longer and could deepen the relationship and themes further. I’m a huge fan of juxtaposing AI/cyborgs/robots to humans and questioning what it means to be human. This graphic novel got close to that, but I feel it only skimmed the surface. With its length, however, I will not be too harsh on the lightness of the plot. It was cute and a fun read. I am excited to see it finalized and in full color.
