The artwork in this graphic novel was stunning. It is what ultimately pushed me to give this story four stars instead of three. The plot itself was good, but not great. The protagonist, Freddy, discovers that nonromantic relationships and valuing oneself are just as (if not more) important than romantic relationships. Ultimately, this title is substantial and belongs in any YA collection, but it is not going to be one of my favorite reads of the year.
