Belle of the Ball

Hawkins has spent most of high school hiding behind a mascot costume, but she finally decides to ask out Regina Moreno. The popular cheerleader already has a girlfriend, Chloe, and instead recruits Hawkins to help Chloe with English. Hawkins agrees, hoping the arrangement will bring her closer to Regina. Tutoring brings a different complication: she and Chloe share a childhood history that neither can neatly leave behind. As familiar memories meet new attractions, the three girls discover that their plans for one another are less straightforward than they imagined. Mari Costa’s graphic novel follows a school romance tangled up in ambition, old friendships and the risk of finally being seen.
