This gorgeously drawn comic perfectly captures a kind of aimless Los Angeles young adult summer experience. Three friends argue, skate, spend too much time on instagram, flirt with their exs and eat a lot of burritos. Megan is in a band, and also in love with her straight bandmate, Kate. Jimmy really shouldn't met with her ex, Katie, again but she does. Clark is texting a lot with a girl in Chicago that he met online, but he also goes to some trouble to borrow a car to go on a date with a girl who's still in high school. The story doesn't have a lot of action, or resolution, but sometimes neither does life.

Art: 5/5 gorgeous
Aesthetic: 5/5 light pink, summer in LA, skater kids, hell yeah
Story: 3/5 characters and plot don't have much depth, made it hard to empathize or feel invested
Writing/dialogue: 2/5 felt unrealistic and not in a stylized way
