I thought it would be a light read; spoiler: it wasn't. It is very grounded in reality and the problems we can run into. I didn't exactly relate to the MC but I did relate a lot to her friends. I have had friends who, while in relationships, became bad friends. Although the cycle was broken in this case, there was a happy ending.
I really liked the art and how the artist implemented it to convey or enhance certain emotions. Still, I did feel like there was a lot that this graphic novel was trying to cover. It did feel messy and undeveloped in certain parts of the book. I don't necessarily believe it should be longer. Instead, I would have liked to see more about why the MC is so in love with Laura Dean.
Apart from those critiques, I did like this book a lot. I would recommend other people read this. Although, I would tell them to check the trigger warning first.
