While the art and writing is well crafted, I was not the right audience for this graphic novel. While it's a coming of age story, and I think it has honest reflections of being in a girl's school that redeem the work, I really should have checked the trigger warnings.

I was neither prepared or happy with the pedophilia involved that doesn't really get addressed.

Underage smoking is present. Sexual jokes and slut-shaming pop up occasionally. Frequent "jokes" about suicide and self-harm. The 16-year-old main character is infatuated with her adult teacher, with some brief visuals of them kissing and several scenes of them in the teacher's house. There is also some vaguely uncomfortable behavior there on the protagonist's behalf, with her independently finding her teacher's address in the first place.
