About this book
Frederica Riley, a high-school student, finds herself caught in a repetitive on-again, off-again romance with charismatic Laura Dean, the most popular girl at school. As the relationship cycles through breakups and reconciliations, Freddy's other friendships begin to fray, forcing her to confront how her feelings for Laura affect the people around her. The graphic novel follows her struggle to understand what it means to be in a healthy partnership versus one that repeats toxic patterns. Through candid dialogue and expressive artwork, the story delves into themes of self-worth, heartbreak, and the power of choosing oneself.
