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.
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..
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.
Under its fluorescent lights, Liv feels far away from her parents\' strained marriage and the peers who don\'t understand her.
Thankfully, she\'s found the perfect escape: the mall.
The only person who makes time for her is one of teachers, but Liv isn\'t sure how to feel about the way he behaves toward her.
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.
But Liv is determined to be who she is, bullies or not.
After all, high school can be brutal, even more so when you\'re a fifteen-year-old, bisexual goth.
Liv Holme is not exactly thrilled to be moving to a new town with her mother.
