Graphic: Ableism, Body shaming, Cursing, Pedophilia, Antisemitism, and Toxic friendship
There was literally nothing I liked about this graphic novel, I hated every second of reading it. It did not age well, none of the characters are likable, and all of the scenes felt disjointed and pointless.moonyreadsbystarlight's review against another edition

This is a very character-focused story with subtle themes involving being disenchanted by society's norms while falling under the pressure of those norms. I will definitely be going back over this one to really pick out the details! It's definitely not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it as I go over the story again before rewatching the movie. I was completely enamored by the clear discussion of compulsory heterosexuality in this, but that is certainly not the only norm being criticized here.
There are a number of problematic things throughout the comic, but most of them are a reflection of the character's insecurities with her own identities (you can see the CWs for specifics on that)

Minor: Body shaming, Bullying, Cancer, Cursing, Fatphobia, Homophobia, Sexual content, Antisemitism, Lesbophobia, and Toxic friendship
While the story never seems to condone any of the bigoted and brutal opinions shared by the clearly flawed protagonists, those opinions still make up a huge chunk of the graphic novel. So proceed with caution if any of the warned topics are a sensitive subject to you.
