"What is it like to love this person who keeps breaking up with you, and then presumably coming back to you?
What does your love for this person offer?
Does it make you happy? Does it give you what you need to be a better person?"

All Freddy Riley wants is for Laura Dean to stop breaking up with her. Laura Dean is a character that needed to be smacked by me, and Freddy needed a few knocks on the head to see clearly 😑.

The day they got together was the best one of Freddy's life, but nothing's made sense as their on-again, off-again relationship has Freddy's head spinning — and Freddy's friends can't understand why she keeps going back to Laura. Laura Dean is popular, funny, and can be charming (not to me though while I was reading it)... but she is manipulative, thoughtless, condescending, and a cheat. It all screamed 'Toxic' and depressing af. A full-on narcissist behavior.

An honest, raw graphic novel tale of young love that asks us to consider what happens when we ditch the toxic relationships we crave to embrace the healthy ones we need.

Pros for the full gay casts, acknowledgment, and appreciation for gay activism/activist in the past and present, teen pregnancy and pro-choice in regards to abortion, and thoughts on breakups.

This was annoying and exasperating to read for me 🤦🏽‍♀️. The arrangement of its artwork and shifting scenes too were draining, confusing, and the entire plot felt monotonous majority of its events.

There might have been a Laura Dean in our lives before or right now. So I'd say that this is a story to reflect on how unhealthy such a relationship is, coming to terms with it and avoiding gaslighting matters like this to ourselves.
