2024 Stonewall Book Award Winner. The sweetest journal style graphic novel with the most exquisite art and storytelling that truly captures that once in a lifetime angsty feeling of being a pre-teen, maybe better than any book I’ve ever read? Imagine Amelia’s Notebook mixed with Raina Telgemeier but make it queer and 2020s. Oh yeah and it’s Norwegian and has a single dad who makes the best playlists and I want to listen to them.
