My Review:
It is difficult to describe this comic book. There have only been 2 volumes published but I am definitely adding this to my list of absolute favorites. I love it so much!
The thing about it is it isn't really "about" anything particular. It is just about 3 best friends who are very different from one another and they meet at their first year at university. One is confused about her sexuality, one is grouchy and idealistic, and one is a gorgeous goth with a penchant for drama and destruction.
Somehow their quirks work in their favor and they are there for each other through thick and thin and even though they are at school for academic purposes this doesn't focus on that. It is about love, and growth and discovering yourself and although it is told in a way that might seem simple and mundane it is so much more than that.
It is hard to put into words but I definitely suggest that if you are in college, going to college, or know a young girl or guy who could relate then pick this up and enjoy the hell out of it.
