My friend recommended this to me years ago, and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally read it.
This is a beautiful little graphic novel about how confusing and uncertain life is when you’re a teenager. It’s a poignant reflection on love and friendship and the complexity of being eighteen years old and thinking you’re insane when maybe you are and maybe you aren’t.
I don’t think this graphic novel is for everyone. I can completely understand why some people didn’t like it. But to me this is a beautiful and compelling glimpse of just how existential everything feels at this age.
