I’m glad I’m finally getting around to reading this one! It’s so important when we’re telling queer stories, especially for young readers, to represent the good and the bad. This story depicts Freddy struggling with being in her first real relationship with Laura Dean who doesn’t treat her well and creates a toxicity in their relationship that in turn affects Freddy’s other relationships with her friends. I really enjoyed the art style and I think this story is important for young readers!
