I Think I Am in Friend Love with You A Modern Tale of Timeless Friendship

YALSA Quick Pick Award Winner

I have a confession to make.
I think I am in friend-love with you.

What's friend-love? It's that super-awesome bond you share with someone who makes you happy every time you text each other, or meet up for an epic outing. It's not love-love. You don't want to swap saliva; you want to swap favorite books. But it's just as intense and just as amazing.

And it's this search for that connection that comic-book artist Yumi Sakugawa captures in I Think I Am in Friend-Love with You. It's perfect if you've ever fallen in friend-love and want to show that person how much you love them... in a platonic way, of course.

"The warmth of Yumi's soft brushstrokes and vulnerability of her words make me feel less alone in this weird world. I think I am in book-love." Lisa Hanawalt, author of My Dirty Dumb Eyes

"This is one of my favorite comics ever, a sweet ode to platonic love that will echo through the ages." MariNaomi, author of Kiss and Tell

"Look around. You won't find anything sweeter than this lonely little book anywhere in your immediate vicinity. Unless for some reason there's, like, a bunny knitting a scarf for a puppy. That might be sweeter. Aside from that, this book is definitely your best bet." Avery Monsen, coauthor of K is for Knifeball and All My Friends Are Dead
