And maybe one of the points is: girls do exactly what adolescent boys do. As you go through the book, you figure out gradually that Laura, the lover, is a girl. They live in Berkeley, California, the capitol of radical acceptance. What’s different about this story is, the players are two girls. Laura drops Freddie, picks the relationship back up, drops her over and over. High school student, Freddie Riley, is in love with the most popular girl in school, Laura Dean. It’s stunning-the emotions invoked by those illustrations. The illustrations are made exclusively in black and white. “Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me” (First Second 2019) by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell is such a pretty graphic novel.

I am not sure, and would love to know, how in the world Macleod Andrews gets the job to narrate a ton of fun and enjoyable audiobooks. All in all, if you are looking for a fast and entertaining young adult listen, you have found what you crave. Seriously, a strictly platonic relationship! As with pretty much all stories in this genre, there is the love story that evolves from an unlikely source, even though she is really the only other female character. One the best parts and something I have never come across, especially in a young adult story, was Max’s best friend sense childhood is his female neighbor. Now he must keep the beast satisfied in order to keep him from ruining his life and the lives of the ones he loves with the promise to heal is mother. Somehow gets paired up with the Devil, or rather on of 666 of them.
