this is a sweet and short graphic novel with coming of age themes like life post-divorce, exploring your sexuality, trying to maintain friendships while feeling lonely, etc., most of which were handled well. but please be aware: Trigger Warning: forced outing.
it also has a strong environmental component, which reminded me a lot of Aquicorn Cove by Kay O'Neill but with romance. i think I prefer that book more (the middle grade spin felt less messy), but this was still a nice read; i'm glad I finally got it from the library.
