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.

The plot is slight in this graphic novel, but the artwork is absolutely gorgeous. I found myself examining so many of the pages carefully, because the two-page spreads of snapshots of New York landmarks (Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central Station) are so detailed and beautiful. The story itself is familiar and portrayed empathetically; probably everyone has met a Fiona or two. I liked the relationship between the two old friends, Dani and Zoe, and the way the introduction of a new, alien seductive element—Fiona—throws a monkey wrench into the dynamic. Despite being so irritating I wanted to shake her at times, Fiona is a more nuanced character than she might be in lesser hands. I wondered at times if Dani’s jealousy over Zoe and Fiona’s obvious flirtations was because she had romantic interest in Zoe, or if it was just being hurt that her old friend wasn’t spending as much time with her. I’m not even sure if Dani knows herself. Overall, beautiful artwork, a sweet love letter to 2009 New York City, and a nice portrayal of a longstanding and evolving friendship.
