Morgan likes to keep her life compartmentalized— friends, family, her dreams of going away to college— but her big secret, that she thinks she likes girls, makes her afraid that she’ll lose everything that she loves. But when Morgan is saved from drowning by a mysterious girl from the sea, she starts to learn that being her true self is the most magical thing of all.

This book is just pure middle-grade and early high school sweetness. It’s the coming-of-age graphic novel that I wish I had growing up. It’s a fast read (or maybe it was only fast because I tore through it), but has so many shining moments. It’s sweet and funny, occasionally heartbreaking and tense, tender and joyful. I would consider this a full family must-read that made me wish I could go back and give a younger version of myself and my siblings this book.
