State of the art YA graphic novel. I don't know if it was what I expected but it was good. It starts pretty light and carefree to actually become darker and depict an abusive relationship, while touching themes such as teen pregnancy, bullying, etc. In the end it was rather a heavy read but not overly and the light and soft graphic style brings a nice contrast/relief.

This book is so raw and relatable because I know so many queer Asian American girls who had a weird high school relationship with a white person that ended in a break up. I like that this story doesn't shy away from the ugly sides of messy, toxic, teenage relationships both romantic and platonic. We are not always good friends when we get consumed by romance and there are times when we come back to the same person who keeps hurting us again and again. The main characters were a bit annoying and insufferable at times but even that is so realistic, and was very much an intentional choice. I really liked the side characters and the effortless queer diversity that felt true to the Berkeley social life I also experienced, and of course the art is gorgeous, stylish, and really enjoyable to look at too.

Absolutely stunning. Best graphic novel I had the fortune to encounter in 2024. Masterly combined the struggles of coming-of-age, queer identity, and queer relationships as well as debated issues in the community itself. The art elevates the story so much. I weep for how effectively simple the lines and shading are.
