Reviews
""And so this is a story powered by yearning. Though the book describes itself as a genderqueer tale, it shares with yaoi (boy love manga) a searing energy of unrequited love, a passion that unfulfilled is more gripping to readers than the actual coupling of characters could ever be."" - Lambda Literary ""Merey's soulful story shows just how tenuous our understanding of identity, friendship, and romance can be. Although the work appears sketchy at first glance, every line is clear and every word is clarifying. These are authentic teens with attitudes, sound tracks, and sexual curiosity."" --Booklist, starred review ''This Stonewall Honor Book, drawn with deceptively sketchy art, tells the soulful story of the intense relationship between a shy, bisexual pretty boy and a lesbian with the appetite of a trucker.'' --Ian Chipman, for Booklist's Top 10 Graphic Novels for Youth: 2012 ""Let's get right to it: this graphic novel is about two a) artistic, b) music-loving, c) Jewish, and d) genderqueer friends who consider becoming something more. From that line alone, I think it's safe to say that we all desperately need this book."" - John Hansen for The Guardian
