Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human (A Graphic Novel):
"Oh man, I don’t know if I want to give this one star or 4.5. it is so close to being the perfect book for middle school and early high school. So close! The stuff about relationships and bodies and masturbation and consent and rejection and all of it"

“I was astonished at what I could do. And I wondered what else I could do. Maybe I would always wear the heavy boots of anxiety and the prickly coat of worry, but maybe -- even still -- I could just be a person who belongs in the world, even if it's hard.”

“What can I do?" Salix pulled away. "Can I make you a cup of tea? Want to go for a walk?"
"I just want to stop worrying so much!" I can't even do anything, so what's the point?"
"You told me that you can't really help it, right?" She wiped my tears with her shirt.
I nodded.
"So worry. Just go ahead and worry. Worry as hard as you can, and then keep worrying."
"That sounds awful."
"But if you can't stop worrying, you have to figure out how to worry and keep living, right? We need to find you a really, really big box."
"What for?"
"Not a box. A backpack."
"What?"
"For you to put your worries in, so that you can take them with you, and when you figure out how to not worry so much, you can get rid of them one at a time. And then the backpack will get lighter and lighter until you'll be so light you'll float off the ground."
I kissed her then, because there were no words for how much I liked her in that moment. Loved her, maybe.”

“If you start freaking out, call me and we’ll go for a walk. Or we’ll ride the night buses. We’ll smoke some pot and get the giggles and eat a whole bag of chips. We’ll walk up and down the alleys looking for treasure and avoiding skunks. Any of those things. None of those things. Whatever you can think of. In fact, you don’t even have to think about all the silly things. I can do that too. Your girlfriend will be in charge of distractions.”
