Summary:
Where does love come from? Is it genetic? Do we
model it after our parents’ relationships, or is it
a wild, uncontrollable force? What if every new
relationship is just a perfect copy of the last?
In this graphic novel, the author takes us on
an intimate and daring journey through her
memories of love, relationships, and everything
in between. From university parties to moments
of solitude, the author challenges ideas about
what it means to be young today. Bravely, she
shares her experience with sexual violence
and explores the complexities of modern
relationships — from online dating and hookup
culture to the traps of toxic love.
Is it an autobiography? A romance? A love letter
to the comic medium? A little of each — but above
all, it’s a story that requires immense courage
to tell with such honesty.
