 As another reviewer said- lgbtq+ magical realism graphic novel with gorgeous illustrations and also it's a road trip"- what's not to love? I want to own every Tillie Walden book and stare at the illustrations forever.

Description of incestuous rape and sexual assault (with some challenged victim-blaming from the survivor), but nothing explicit on-page. Mildly disturbing visuals of being followed by a shadowy, intimidating figure. Pursuit and interrogation/intimidation by government officials (Office of Road Inquiry). Scenes of cars progressing along crumbling, winding bridges and roads; one collision, with shots of the damaged car in the aftermath. Animal injury; lost/missing animal that disappears in several scenes, provoking distress.
