Really lovely graphic novel that explored a lot in terms of family issues, sexuality, and young relationships. Loved the illustrations and enjoyed the story.
Really only the main two characters were fully fleshed out, the side characters barely saw the page, and some of the plot points seemed rushed or would have been better with more exploration.
Even with all that, very much enjoyed. Loved the acknowledgements at the end and the sketches!

There was so much to love in this book! Both characters were so beautifully unique and had so man struggles that they had to deal with. Bullying, Sexuality, Abusive Parent, Parent Seperation, Anger... just to name a few! But it subject matter was handle with care and it was dealt with in a awespiring way. I loved the colouring of the illustrations as well as the flip on the well known trope. It was refreshing to see a jock female and drama male as our two main characters!!! A really really enjoyable read!!
