A debut graphic novel about first love and navigating life when you see things differently. Rhys Moore is worried as he starts his first year of university. And not just about the usual things. Rhys has face blindness: He struggles to recognize and remember people’s faces. While he has ways of coping, they don’t always work, so he’s not sure how to manage around so many new people. There is one bright note, though. A very bright note. Malcolm. He’s caring and kind, and he’s empathetic when Rhys reveals his disability. Could he be just what Rhys needs to get through the year? Readers will be swept up as Rhys falls in love - and learns how to truly see another person.
