Such a beautiful and powerful graphic novel that realistically captures the turmoil a teenager, whether they are gay or straight, trying to figure themselves out in this ever-changing world. The illustrations, also done so beautifully and very captivating, really highlights the emotion and the importance of this amazing story.
