Laura dean book5/23/2023 She is, however, aware there’s a problem, and her narrative captions take the form of a long letter to an online agony aunt.Įmotional strength is key to Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, both creators contributing so much. Laura is beautiful, but manipulative, which we can see, but Freddy can’t, at least not on a surface level, while she clings to her infatuation. That everyone is so cute or alluring slightly detracts from their problems, as, wrongly maybe, it’s harder somehow to sympathise with people who’re beautiful. Laura is beautiful, as is Freddy, and almost everyone else as illustrated via the delicate penmanship of Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, and that’s the only bad decision connected with Laura Dean. Mariko Tamaki institutes a deliberately measured slow pace to wring every last moment of pathos from poor Freddy. If there’s a better graphic novel exploration of teenage heartbreak and confusion it’s a book worth getting, as this is superb. As the title tells us, Laura Dean keeps breaking up with her, on this latest occasion to experiment with someone else during the school dance. Freddy Riley is seventeen, named after her long dead Aunt Frederica and just finding out about the traumas of teenage love.
