A note for parents
A poetic coming-of-age graphic novel centered on a young woman's self-discovery, first love with another woman, and journey toward building a life and identity. The story is introspective and surreal rather than plot-driven, exploring emotional and psychological growth. While there are tender romantic moments between the female protagonist and her first love, physical intimacy is subtle and not graphic. The dreamlike narrative style and focus on identity, belonging, and acceptance make it most suitable for teens.
