I received this DRC from NetGalley.

The art in this reminded me of vintage cartoons. It's all in black and white and the elements are rounded and simple. The whole thing is very clear and easy to read. As for the story, I was more interested in the mystery part than the quarter life crisis meandering, but it at least interjected the weird stuff enough to keep my attention. I guess I didn't understand why there needed to be some of that personal drama/ghosting. It was just sad and didn't really add anything. But I did like that the ending added more to the mystery. I'm curious about what the janitor's deal is.

I was a little put off with the number of pages to start, but once I got going, I couldn’t put it down! The characters are simply drawn but really captivating. Their individual unique personalities really work with each other. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would happily read a sequel if one was to happen! Highly recommend if you like animals of indeterminate species, lighthearted spookies, and office mysteries.

Likable and enjoyable characters. Very relatable as well. Easy to keep track of storyline. Some fantasy and (mystery) as well. Art is charming and cute! The last few pages of course was such a cliffhanger!!!!! I want more 😭😭😭

The Well is a charming, slice of life style tale, with well written dialogue, a charming art style and very relatable characters and a sci-fi side (main?) plot about the company they all work for doing nefarious things. I question whether it's a side plot, because it feels like one, but the book takes it's title from here. Honestly, this whole bit always feels like a side track, or a play for humor that doesn't land, and I kind of wish it were lifted from the story all together so we could just spend more time with the characters just living their lives as that's when the book is at it's best.

B plot aside, the low stakes, grounded plotline is more than reason enough to give this a read.

Wonderful art with underwhelming storyline. It started slow but then escalated so quickly towards the end it all felt disjointed.

Veronika is such a great relatable character. she’s not sure where she is heading with her life and just feels stuck. Than we add a helping of sci-fi, creepiness to drag the reader even deeper into the world that she is joining by starting this new job. I enjoyed this book immensely. if you love a creepy story with love a characters make sure to check out this one.
