Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
by Mariko Tamaki
Oh, I loved this! The toxic high school relationship at its center was so recognizable and believable, and the resolution and reconnection with true friends was deeply satisfying and genuinely moving. I think the specificity of it all helped this to be sweet and genuine, but never cheesy or cliche or saccharine. Definitely cried a little bit on my couch at 1:00am.
GORGEOUS black and white art--such detail and fine lines, as well as characterization in the body posture of each character (from the swaggering Laura Dean to the sweet and comfortable Doodle). And the Berkeley details! And Freddy's bedroom! The panels are so packed and dense, it almost feels a little claustrophobic on the page--and then there is one huge two-page panel that highlights an emotional moment as the air goes out of Freddy's lungs... so well done.
