To her horror, she finds that her cheerful mother tastes of despair. Soon, she's privy to the secret knowledge that most families keep hidden: her father's detachment, her mother's transgression, her brother's increasing retreat from the world. But

Love the color and art. The story is a tough subject, but one alot of kids/ young adults deal with. Trigger warnings of child hood trauma and alcoholic family member

It's pretty nice
Format: Paperback
I don't usually read saphic stories to my preference of mlm ones but this one wasn't bad. Ended on sort of a cliff hanger I suppose given it's only volume 1. The plot revolves around the lead and her mother and sets the tone for her daily life while slowly building her relationship with the green haired one until finishing the book off with them becoming friends and confiding in eachother.
