I genuinely didn’t expect this to be a deeply sorrowful story. This coming of age, young adult graphic novel tackles two teenage girls spending a life-changing summer together. The art style is very beautiful and compliments the heartwrenching yet equally hopeful story that the writers were trying to tell.
Graphic: Miscarriage, Sexism, Abortion, and Pregnancy
Minor: Rape
