Lindsey Cheng is a college freshman navigating her new adulthood with school, friends, and a ‘cool’ new boyfriend. That new boyfriend, Jason? Not so cool after all, he’s a self-centered jerk but having a crush on someone has a way of putting blinders over our eyes. Lindsey learns a hard lesson about placing a partner on a pedestal, and her story is bittersweet. I found Lindsey to be relatable, I have definitely found myself in her shoes and I think that this sort of story is great for young adults.
The art is also really cute and the characters are likeable. This graphic novel is full of charm and remains lighthearted and humorous throughout. A delightful read and easy recommendation.

“Lindsey!! Hereby begins your maiden voyage… Through the restless seas of LOVE!”
