ending things with uncertainty but with a newly forged understanding, the fact that supporting is so much greater than understanding, that stuff names me want to bawl my eyes out LIKE YES BRON!! I GET YOU SO MUCH AND THAT IS FUCKING TERRIFYING!! especially the moment she is talking with gracie and she talks about how she feels like everybody hates her and her leaving ray was absolutely like ...!!!!!!!!idk man ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
this book is definitely hitting my top reads from this year!!
also beautiful story telling and the way the art style changes when they are having fun turning into something more earthy, and gnarly and positively beautiful and brimming with emotions, so well done!!
~cw: depression, abandonment, minor mentions of transphobia and minor mentions of religious bigotry (no on-page actions were taken), divorce
