Megan spends two weeks in New York with her childhood best friend Cass, but finds herself having to choose between their powerful friendship and something else she values. What a stunningly beautiful graphic novel! Every pannel was a treat to look at, and their friendship was fun to exolore.I absolutely loved this. (I also couldn't stop thinking that Megan looks a lot like Disney's Ariel.)

This was a story of two childhood best friends who continued to grow apart and come back together again, and the art that changed their lives. 

I am blown away by the illustrations in this book! The artwork is absolutely gorgeous.

As far as the story goes, it was pretty straightforward and didn't really capture my interest that much. The friendship between the girls was extremely toxic, and I'm not sure I agree with how their reconciliation was handled. There was a lot of peer-pressure from Cass and the message at the end seemed to be "peer pressure is ok if the person needs a push?" which I don't agree with.
