Smart, sweet, but never sappy, romance between Indian American teens.

Dimple is furious when she discovers that their parents have arranged their introduction at an exclusive summer camp, and Rishi wonders what he's gotten himself into. Forced to work together on a coding project, they discover they have much more in common than not. But how can they compromise on the things that matter most to them?

In this achingly raw graphic memoir, Marissa Moss untangles the seven whirlwind months between her husband’s ALS diagnosis and his death. Forced to balance Harvey’s increasingly complex medical needs and the needs of their three young sons, Moss struggles to maintain a sense of normalcy for their family in the midst of this crisis. Absent are movie-perfect declarations of love and reconciliation; Moss lays bare the emotional devastation left in the wake of Harvey’s illness with her understated drawings and text. But there are moments of joy, too--a morning swim, a tender glance—reminding us to find beauty in the darkest of times. Powerful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful, Last Things challenges readers with its unflinching look at marriage and family, love, and loss.

The audience itself becomes a character, following the dot through its wild journey of loops and spins and twists and tunnels. Both young and old alike will delight in this bold picture book--you'll never read it the same way twice!
