That new boyfriend, Jason? Not so cool after all, he&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Lindsey!!
