Named one of the Best Books of 2024 by Kirkus, this funny, unexpected, and affecting new graphic novel from Eisner-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio and artist Paulina Ganucheau follows a recently transitioned girl named Phoebe Zito as she tries to figure out who she is while managing who everyone else wants her to be. Phoebe is the newest kid at Sally Ride High School, newly arrived in Los Angeles, and newly transitioned, and she's just trying to blend in while she figures out exactly who she is. Her mom is checked out, her dad is still adjusting to having a daughter, and there's no guidebook on how to be a girl. Enter Mackenzie Ishikawa, the girl who all girls want to be and all the boys want to be with. Mackenzie knows what it takes to survive and thrive as a girl in high school, and she's determined to be Phoebe's new best friend. Phoebe soon realizes that being true to herself means breaking some hearts, but as she discovers what kind of girl she is and what kind of girl everyone around her thinks she's supposed to be, she worries that one of those hearts will be her own.
