A story with complex characters that accurately portrays an abusive relationship, especially how abusers cut you off from friends, or at least try to. All told with a beautiful art style that uses only black, white, and pink.

TWs: emotional abuse, unplanned pregnancy, drinking.

This was a pretty well done ya graphic novel that follows Freddy as she writes to an advice column to help her navigates a toxic in and out of relationship with it girl Laura Dean. I enjoyed the outlook of a teens journey through the ups and downs of relationships, friendships and teen pregnancy. The paneling and way the story was conveyed was easy to follow and structured well.

Overall it is a great read for any high schooler or anyone who has ever been in a toxic relationship and needed help navigating their way through.
