About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling overwhelmed by the looming transition to college or is struggling to find their footing in a new environment. Sarah Mai captures the messy, unpolished reality of an eighteen year old artist navigating her first year away from home. Through the lens of a graphic novel, it explores the sharp stings of loneliness, the pressure of new academic expectations, and the awkwardness of making friends when you feel like you are still figuring out who you are. This is a comforting, realistic validation for older teens who feel like they should have it all figured out but clearly do not. It serves as a gentle reminder that starting over is a process, not an event.
