The conversation seems to be more hung up about the fact that the adult is married, not that it is an adult.
I do want to say that there is a relationship between a minor and an adult in this book which isn’t broken down at all. I especially loved that this graphic novel is a story about a queer relationship where coming out isn’t the only facet of a queer story. Reading Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me was like confronting the ways I was an awful friend, engaged in a toxic relationship, and lost all sense of who I was in high school. So many situations were exactly the same and I almost felt like I was flipping through a scrapbook of all my bad decisions. What I really enjoyed about Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me is how much like Freddy I was in high school. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Fortunately for Freddy, there are new friends, and the insight of advice columnists like Anna Vice to help her through being a teenager in love. Maybe it’s Freddy, who is rapidly losing her friends, including Doodle, who needs her now more than ever.
But Laura Dean keeps coming back, and as their relationship spirals further out of her control, Freddy has to wonder if it’s really Laura Dean that’s the problem. Reeling from her latest break up, Freddy’s best friend, Doodle, introduces her to the Seek-Her, a mysterious medium, who leaves Freddy some cryptic parting words: break up with her. There’s just one problem: Laura Dean is maybe not the greatest girlfriend. Laura Dean, the most popular girl in high school, was Frederica Riley’s dream girl: charming, confident, and SO cute. I think what resonated so much with me from Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me is how much like Freddy I was in high school.
