Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
by Mariko Tamaki
Watching Freddy grow into the person she’s meant to be is more than worth reading this graphic novel. Freddy, our protagonist, is by no means perfect in any way. She exemplifies her faults, commits to reckless mistakes, and seems to make bad decisions again and again. Yet, you can’t help but find yourself rooting for her even if there’s a small bit of annoyance. She’s ignorant in most cases, blinded by love, and forgives too much, but she’s also a kind, supportive, and empathetic friend who deserves happiness.
While there is no true redemption arc for Laura Dean (as shown in the title), Freddy clearly grows and matures as a high school senior. With strong LGBT+ representation that isn’t forced or exaggerated, a diverse BIPOC group of friends, and a beautiful portrayal of what it means to love yourself, “Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me” is a must-read for anyone who doesn’t have the heart to love themselves right now.
