I haven't read the novel version but this graphic novel version flows really well and is cute with some good messages. Holub has re-written the Hades & Persephone romance into a tween "like" story with some tackling of people-pleasing issues and judging of someone because of where they are from thrown in. Can Persephone find the bravery to be herself instead of a phony and be Hades' friend? Persephone's friends and mom don't want her hanging out with him, but when she talks to Hades Persephone feels free to be herself for once and she thinks the others aren't giving him a chance. He's kind of an outcast at school because of where he's from. She's about to a breaking point when she meets Hades. Her mom told her as a child to go along with others to get along and ever since she's buried what she really thinks and just tells others what she thinks they want to hear and does what they want to do.
