Beautiful illustrations that tell a truly important story. The difficulty of being in an interracial relationship and knowing that your partner won't support you. The hard but necessary choice of walking away from a two-year relationship because you know you deserve more. 
This graphic novel is relatively short but packs a punch, handling the topic of subtle racism that is often overlooked to avoid confrontations. Farai is a wonderful main character and I truly enjoyed Charlot Kristensen's storytelling.
