Tripping Over You #1
by Suzana Harcum
The first volume of young adult graphic novel series about the long and winding romantic relationship between an energetic theater kid, Milo, and his withdrawn classmate, Liam. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper!
The infamous theater kid Milo and wallflower Liam are unlikely friends connected by a mutual feeling of being misfits in their boarding school. As their friendship and bond develops, unspoken romantic feelings start to bubble up and complicate everything―misunderstandings and bruised eyes aplenty. But with their graduation soon approaching, Milo gathers the strength to finally confess. They begin dating in secret (for fear of Liam's strict father finding out), but their relationship becomes more difficult to hide over time and they must decide if they are ready for what the future has in store for them.
Tripping Over You is perfect for readers who want more than just the moody teen problems and the 'getting together' stage. It's a story that throughout the three volumes, progresses until they are out of college, showing the relationship mature and change as the characters move through different stages of their lives.
"The British setting is minimally developed in the language and artwork and lacks cultural texture. Nevertheless, this feel-good story features appealing banter among the characters and touches upon important themes of coming out and good communication in relationships. A charming series opener." —Kirkus Reviews
"Fans of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper and Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau's Bloom will enjoy this LGBTQIA+ romantic graphic novel and anxiously await the next volume in the series." —School Library Journal
"Fans of works like Bloom, Heartstopper, or Fake Dates and Mooncakes should definitely pick this up for their fix of boys growing up and falling in love." —Booklist
