"Strapp’s expressively rendered, refreshingly diverse cast of characters engagingly brings light to some of the unique struggles of queer friendships and relationships. This love letter to the fleeting nature of college friend groups is approachable (and maybe stressful!) for anyone who has ever been a miserable college student glad they have someone to stick it out with." —Booklist

Falling in love? Scary. Falling for your best friend? Terrifying. Naming all the ways your heart hurts? Impossible.

College upperclassman Molly Song is set on getting over her ex this semester, but it's hard when she dumps you via email and posts all over social media about cozying up with her study-abroad roommate. After convincing her friend, Lou Kingston, that they should go to parties and find rebound girlfriends, Molly learns she should be careful what she wishes for when she starts to develop real feelings for someone she’s not sure feels the same way.

Meanwhile, Molly and Lou’s exes, Yona and Olene, have left their pasts behind as they study abroad in France. Together they see springtime in Marseille, find new friendships, and uncover new personal truths. Will their whirlwind trip bloom into a whirlwind romance, or will their journeys to self-discovery put them on different paths entirely?

College is a time to find yourself, but what could you stand to lose along the way? Lessons of the heart abound in How Could You, a queer debut graphic novel from Ren Strapp, perfect for fans of Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me and Heartstopper.
