This one was so good, I couldn’t put it down!
Liv and her parents move to a new town just as Liv is about to start high school. Liv has a very goth aesthetic, one that would rival Lydia Deetz. But she’s hesitant to trust people, especially when she thinks they’re just going to be mean to her later. When she finally does open up, Liv has to determine if she’s opening up to the right people and what exactly she’s comfortable sharing.
I truly could not put this book down and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes queer coming-of-age stories with a Y2K vibe.

Very realistic teen story, but alarming - a good read for all YA and families to talk about when a trusted adult crosses a line in an easily hidden way.

I loved the nostalga of the 2000s goth/emo culture. There's so many references of the subculture packed into this graphic novel throughout.
Another aspect I thought was amazing was all the important topics that were broached in this coming of age story. For example sexual preators, shitty men, devorce, female friendships, and staying true to who you are. All these heavy topics were presented in an amazing way.
