Asher Machnik is a teenage boy cursed with a beautiful androgynous face. Guys punch him, girls slag him and by high school he's developed an intense fear of being touched. Art remains his only escape from an otherwise emotionally empty life. Eulalie Mason is the lonely, tough-talking dyke from school who befriends Ash. The only one to see and accept all of his sides as a loner, a fellow artist and a best friend, she's starting to wonder if ash is ever going to see all of her.... a + e 4EVER is a graphic novel set in that ambiguous crossroads where love and friendship, boy and girl, straight and gay meet. It goes where few books have ventured, into genderqueer life, where affections aren't black and white. A Stonewall Youth Book Award Honoree for its frank portrayal of queer, contemporary youth.

A bit disjointed, with an interesting yet somehow seemingly unfinished art style, the characters are interesting nonetheless. They are not boxed by gender and sexuality lines, and their friendship/love/hate changes them both. I didn‘t love it, but I found it intriguing.

I wasn't a fan of the art style and the plot itself was relatively mundane, but I enjoyed it overall. I haven't read many graphic novels that explore genderqueer identity, so it was new and interesting in that regard because it did so unapologetically.
I say read this book of you're in the mood for a story that is bold in its representation of LGBTQ issues and themes.
