I recently read Cold by Mariko Tamaki and really enjoyed it so I decided to pick up a graphic novel from them and sadly this one was just not for me. 

Fiona is an absolute nightmare of a person and readers never really get the insight into why she might be like this. She is so mean to Zoe and completely alienates her from her friend Dani. I thought the art in Roaming was beautiful but the overall story felt mean spirited with little to no actual story except that these kids are queer college students who are visiting New York.
