Finally, a story about toxic relationships and how they can in turn make us toxic friends. This story is so necessary. It also occurs in almost an entirely queer community. But that doesn't make the content or message exclusive to queer people. This message is for all young people experiencing their first romantic encounters. It's so hard to learn that sometimes we need to end relationships with people we still love. It's so hard to learn that breakups are a lot like love; messy and dramatic. It's so hard to value ourselves over our relationships, especially when we are young.

I love the art in this. Characters are not all skinny and they're not all white. Doodle and Freddy have weird hobbies, like D&D and splicing thrift shop stuffed animals together to make new creations. It's great and makes several characters well rounded.

I look forward to more novels from this author/illustrator.
