This is not my kind of book personally 
The art is gorgeous and I loved that there was queer rep but I had  secondhand embarrassment from the super touristy view of NYC. The characters were also all pretty unlikeable and complicated which is pretty realistic given the age range of the characters but still isn’t my preference to read

A slice of a young memory, this graphic novel explores what it means to get wrapped up in the energy of one person and figuring out where you want your energy to go to.
