I have SO many feelings about this. The characters were great, there are so many layers in all of this, and there is so much cool stuff happening with the art! Incredible!

Mags has a dark family secret, and her long lost childhood best friend has just returned to town with questions. This moving and mysterious graphic novel so vividly depicts how shame and shouldering responsibility can bleed you dry, but family, friendship, and love can give you the courage to befriend the monstrous in you and bring the darkest parts of you into the light, all through a powerful, beautiful, and tender queer love story.
