A queer coming-of-age story in 1980s New York

Set amid New York City’s punk scene, the graphic novel follows sixteen-year-old Nina Boyd, whose interests in punk rock and comics sit alongside strong academic and athletic commitments. Her feelings for her best friend, Kerri, bring a private conflict into view: Nina’s family holds expectations shaped by their conservative Catholic environment, and she fears their response to her attraction to a girl. The story brings first love, friendship, family conflict, and self-determination together through Nina’s choice between the future her family imagines and the one she wants for herself.

Book overview

A queer coming-of-age story, about best friends, first love, family conflicts, and following your heart

It's the 1980s and punk rock is blowing up in New York City. Young people from all five boroughs flock to CBGBs in Greenwich Village to see the latest band and be a part of the scene. On Staten Island, just a ferry ride away, sixteen-year-old Nina Boyd is into punk rock and comic books. She plays guitar, is a straight-A student, a champion swimmer, and is in love with her best friend.

But her best friend Kerri is a girl, and Nina knows her family would never approve. They've sent her to a conservative Catholic high school and they're already suspicious of any of her friends who aren't straight enough. As Nina's crush grows stronger, she must choose between her family's dreams for her and her own.

A powerful, emotional queer graphic novel about navigating rejection from family while figuring out your dreams.
