by Mariko Tamaki (Author)

From award-winning creators Mariko Tamaki and Rosemary Valero-O'Connell comes one of the decade's most celebrated and acclaimed YA graphic novels about toxic relationships and queer first love. Winner of the Eisner Award, the Ignatz Award, and a Michael L. Printz Honor Book, this story is perfect for fans of Heartstopper and This One Summer.

Laura Dean is the most popular girl in school--funny, confident, and impossible for Freddy Riley to let go of. Being chosen by Laura Dean feels like a dream, but staying with her is another story.

After another painful breakup, Freddy's best friend Doodle takes her to a psychic, who gives one piece of advice: end things for good. But no matter how much Laura Dean hurts her, Freddy keeps getting pulled back in. As the relationship begins to cost her friendships--especially with Doodle--Freddy starts to question what love should really look like and whether she's brave enough to choose herself.

With gorgeous illustrations and compassionate storytelling, this modern classic explores:

- Toxic relationships and emotional growth
- LGBTQ+ teen identity and queer romance
- Friendship, boundaries, and self-discovery
- Mental health, empathy, and finding your voice
