This book was bittersweet, and heartwarming at the same time. It captures how external pressures on a friendship can create distances and misunderstandings that are difficult to bridge; and also how friendships can be built with just a little bit of empathy. I appreciate the ace and enby representation in this book. I also appreciate how the writer has explored how even seemingly "perfect" families can be dysfunctional, using privilege and power to manipulate the lives of children in those families. I actually would like a sequel to this, that picks up these characters at a later stage in their life, after they've become independent of their parents.
I loved the art style and thought that it was perfect for this graphic novel.
