this book was okay, but it was super depressing because i kept waiting for something pivotal to happen, but it never did. you could call it really anti-climatic.

I don't know about this, honestly. I get it was 'real' and 'relatable', but I expected a little more.
It's enjoyable, but I just like to have SOMETHING.

A poignant autobiographical graphic novel about a 15-year-old white southern girl at summer camp who develops unexpected romantic feelings for a 19-year-old white female counselor. Is Maggie alone in her feelings for Erin? Or is Erin drawn to Maggie, too? And even if she is, will their age disparity make it impossible to do anything about what they feel?
Really didn't like the framing opening/closing sections, but the camp sections were filled with spot-on character constructions and historical details (early 1990s), as well as understated but telling moments highlighting the often unspoken negative aspects of femininity, especially the drive to conform.
