Reviews

Sugar Town is a frank, sweet look at a pair of queer girls getting to know each other. They make mistakes, they figure things out, and they figure out what they want to be together.--Elizabeth Brei "Loser City"

Sugar Town is a touching story of a woman and her sweetie and her other sweetie, struggling with her feelings regarding her sweeties' other sweeties . . . It's a lovely story I highly recommend.--Annie Blitzen "Women Write About Comics"

Sugar Town is sweet without being syrupy. Newlevant carefully creates a narrative that combines the dream of more accepting spaces with a realistic portrayal of life as a queer millennial. Its bright artwork and proud depictions of queer romance will make any reader feel hopeful about love. Newlevant's work reminds us to love more openly, even for those not in open relationships.--Molly Barnewitz "Comicsverse"

It's that emotional honesty . . . that elevates Sugar Town beyond the reader's expectations. It's a book that deals frankly with some very tender feelings--deep vulnerability, yes, but also embarrassment, passion, anxiety, and finally genuine love.--Tegan O'Neil "The Comics Journal"
