"Flamer" by Mike Curato is a graphic novel that powerfully tells an important story.

Flamer is a coming of age story, about a boy learning how to navigate life as a young queer person of color, particularly coming from a Catholic background. I think the main character, Aiden, is a character many can relate to yet don't often see represented in media.

The themes are a bit dark at times but there are also some good laughs here and there!

I appreciate the use of a limited color palette, mostly black and white with pops of red and orange. It made for some stunning spreads. Overall, I'd say this is a good book.
