Laura Dean is the most popular girl in school―funny, confident, and impossible for Freddy Riley to let go of. Being chosen by Laura Dean feels like a dream, but staying with her is another story.

After another painful breakup, Freddy’s best friend Doodle takes her to a psychic, who gives one piece of advice: end things for good. But no matter how much Laura Dean hurts her, Freddy keeps getting pulled back in. As the relationship begins to cost her friendships―especially with Doodle―Freddy starts to question what love should really look like and whether she’s brave enough to choose herself.

With gorgeous illustrations and compassionate storytelling, this modern classic explores:

• Toxic relationships and emotional growth
• LGBTQ+ teen identity and queer romance
• Friendship, boundaries, and self-discovery
• Mental health, empathy, and finding your voice
