When MariNaomi first meets Mirabai in grade school, Mirabai seems to be more of a bully than a friend. But over the course of time, their relationship shifts from tense to friendly, to drifting apart, to reconnecting and finding something much deeper. This comics memoir is about female friendship, a story that doesn't involve stale tropes like acrimonious competition or fighting over boys. It explores the complexity and depth of this particular friendship through snapshot-vignettes of relevant moments over thirty years, painting a portrait of something unique but relatable, common but extraordinary.

As a child, Mari Naomi did not fit in. Her friends didn't like her but rather they pitied her... until they actually liked her. There are interesting dynamics about childhood and growing apart into adulthood, and coming back together with someone you once loved deeply, and could love again. It's interesting to see what we do to fit in and what we do to figure out who we are, and how the relationships around us impact our stories about ourselves, as well as how we can relate to others when we don't always know the truth. Luckily, most people grow up enough to be seen and to better see the value in others.
