A really cute and gay graphic novel!! The artstyle is amazing and it’s a really fun read! It also was about how relationships can be toxic and messy. Freddy (mc) has to figure out and come to terms with her toxic relationship with LD. All the characters are really interesting. I think it would have been great to know more backstory of Laura Dean, but considering the format and how long the graphic novel already is, I can see how that just didn’t fit in there anymore.

Wowowow this artwork is gorgeous. I am also so completely obsessed with Mariko Tamaki's writing now.
 This is my second comic from her and I just- 
This comic is so endearing and made me feel such love and compassion for all of these characters. The lesbians in this are so real, from our main cast to the older characters around them I loved every single one. I love the idea of an advice column that Freddy writes to since she's at such a loss. Laura Dean is such a compelling character as well, totally toxic and totally aloof, I loved to hate her (mostly joking). 
Also the ART. It's insanely good.
Please pick it up if you like me are late to the game, it's so so worth it!
