stunning & understated!!! the black & white & pink added so much to the tone. i loved the characters & appreciated how complex & real & Teenaged they all felt. subtle but unflinching, beautiful & powerful, this is pretty much as close to perfect as it gets.

The art is incredibly detailed and I live for the salmon pink accents. I love the detail that the stuffed animals can talk. The story is very poignant, but I was just frustrated with Freddy so much for being a bad friend. If I reflect, tho, oftentimes in toxic relationships ppl aren’t thinking rationally and have developed a kind of dependency with their partner. So even though it was painful, I’ll admit it was realistic. Great complex story.

grave déçu.e honnêtement 
pour le coup ça porte bien son titre : on suit Freddy qui se fait malmener par Laura Dean (une meuf qui visiblement est pas faite pour les relations monogames mais veut pas se l'admettre et continue à être malhonnête avec ses relations et affreuse de manière générale) et qui finit par en devenir une amie de merde.
c'est pas extraordinaire du coup comme histoire, même si j'imagine que pour certaines personnes ça peut faire réfléchir sur les sortes de relation, les limites qu'on doit y mettre, la notion de rupture etc. je suis juste peut-être pas le public cible (et bon, honnêtement, Freddy est autant insupportable que Laura in my opinion).

par contre les dessins SONT TROP BEAUX. et Doodle avait l'air trop cool, jtrouve ça vraiment nul qu'on la suive pas +. de manière générale, les personnages secondaires ont tous l'air + intéressants et chouettes.

More like a 3.5 tbh

I really loved what this book does. It's not always the story that gets told around the lgbt community, but it's so real nonetheless. I think it was too short for me to get attached to anyone, but I loved the illustrations as well as the writing.

It's a gorgeous pride read and overall just a solid graphic novel to check out!
