This was amazing, wow. You follow Allison through her childhood and learn about her relationships with her family members and see her grow into an adult who explores queerness and grief as part of her story. The story primarily focuses on her relationship with her dad. Ways it was difficult as a child, how she grows to try and understand him and her feelings towards him as an adult, the ways in which they mirror each other.
The comic was so engrossing and strong. I was so moved and touched by this book
