“I’m aware that I should be grateful that I have the ability to get broken up with and publicly humiliated the same as my hetero friends. 
I am progress.” 

An honest coming of age story about love, friendship, and being a young lesbian finding their way through the world. 

I found the art style incredibly beautiful. The uses of pinks in an otherwise black and white novel was really well done. I appreciate Freddy’s growth, it felt natural and a realistic portrayal of realizing what you want may not be what you need.
