Stargazing by Jen Wang
4.0

I definitely got teared up there at the end. It took me a bit longer to get through this than it normally does for graphic novels, but the second-hand embarrassment was strong with this one. Even so, it was such a powerful little story of friendship and the danger of jealousy. Definitely read the author's note at the end--it provides a whole new depth to the story that makes me want to read it all through again.

Also fun fact: this is by the author of The Prince and the Dressmaker, which I didn't realize until I finished. So go give that a read if you like this art style!
