Author Mariko Tamaki and illustrator Rosemary Valero-O’Connell bring to life a sweet and spirited tale of young love in Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, a graphic novel that asks us to consider what happens when we ditch the toxic relationships we crave to embrace the healthy ones we need.
Laura Dean, the most popular girl in high school, was Frederica Riley's dream girl: charming, confident, and SO cute. There's just one problem: Laura Dean is maybe not the greatest girlfriend.
Reeling from her latest break up, Freddy's best friend, Doodle, introduces her to the Seek-Her, a mysterious medium, who leaves Freddy some cryptic parting words: break up with her. But Laura Dean keeps coming back, and as their relationship spirals further out of her control, Freddy has to wonder if it's really Laura Dean that's the problem. Maybe it's Freddy, who is rapidly losing her friends, including Doodle, who needs her now more than ever.
Fortunately for Freddy, there are new friends, and the insight of advice columnists like Anna Vice to help her through being a teenager in love.

Miles ★★★★★

The way Valero-O’Connell draws the characters’ body language—slumped shoulders, tangled fingers—makes every awkward text and hallway glance feel painfully real. I finished it in one sitting, and the back-and-forth between the main character and her friend group felt exactly like my own teenage years

Matthew ★★★★★

This graphic novel captured that messy, all-consuming feeling of loving someone who keeps hurting you — the art shifts so beautifully between soft and sharp that it mirrors the emotional whiplash perfectly. I read it in one sitting and immediately started it again to soak in the details.

Aurora ★★★★★

Rosemary Valero-O’Connell’s artwork is the real standout here—every panel feels like it’s glowing with emotion, especially in the quiet, awkward moments between Freddy and Laura. I finished it in one sitting and immediately wanted to flip back to my favorite scenes.
