Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a truly heartfelt graphic novel. It was actually more scary than I thought it would be, but I am a scaredy cat. The art is so detailed and almost comic book like, and it works well with the story. The characters all feel very real and very much like middle schoolers. There is great representation with an autistic main character and a trans main character; the autistic main character was really well done and it never felt like she needed to change herself
in fact, her autism and understanding of being misunderstood is what ends up saving the day
. Overall, I highly recommend.
