Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me gets a Y2K twist in this coming-of-age young adult graphic novel from acclaimed comic artist Kate Leth about a 2000s goth teen whose favorite part of her new town is the mall. Liv Holme is not exactly thrilled to be moving to a new town with her mother. After all, high school can be brutal, even more so when youre a fifteen-year-old, bisexual goth. But Liv is determined to be who she is, bullies or not. Still, being the new kid and the only out student brings her a lot of unwelcome attention, and Liv flounders in her search for community. The only person who makes time for her is one of teachers, but Liv isnt sure how to feel about the way he behaves toward her. Thankfully, shes found the perfect escape: the mall. Under its fluorescent lights, Liv feels far away from her parents strained marriage and the peers who dont understand her. Amid the bright storefronts, food court smell, and anonymous shoppers, Liv is safely one of the crowd and can enjoy the feeling of calling the shots in her own life for once. With the help of her suburban refuge, Liv sets off on a journey of self-acceptance and learns to navigate the ups and downs of high school and to recognize true friendship.

Inspired by real events, this graphic novel follows Liv Holme, a bi, goth girl in a new school in a new town. She finds a friend group, some gamers who hang out around the mall. Things are going well until she begins to get unwanted attention from a friend and becomes the target of predatory behavior from a teacher. Despite not shying away from some dark complex situations, Leth depicts resilience and empowerment in a realistic way.⬇️

psalva I love the mom‘s character, as well as Alice, the mall security guard. This had great bi representation, and interesting art, almost a TV animation vibe- I know nothing about art clearly :) This is one I highly recommend, but tread lightly with the themes. 3mo

A coming-of-age graphic novel about a girl in a new town, the mall where she spends her time…and a creepy teacher. This definitely had a darker side that I did not expect, but it was a great story.

I've been recovering from minor surgery this weekend, hence the massive Libby graphic novel binge. It's doing wonders for my #ISpyBingo tally.

Lauredhel @MidnightBookGirl It is adorable but there are also some major topics in it - divorce, creepy teacher, stuff like that. I thought it was very well done. 13mo
