"Set in the early 2000s, Mall Goth is a coming-of-age story about Goth Liv Holme, who has to navigate growing up amidst moving, starting at a new school, and the dissolution of her parents' marriage"-- Provided by publisher.

"Liv Holme just doesn't fit in. It's not easy when you're an out, bisexual, goth girl in the early 2000s! On top of that, she's the new kid at a new school in a whole new town. What's a spooky, awkward, lonely girl to do? When the going gets tough, Liv finds sanctuary in her own slice of teen heaven: the mall. After locking down a cringe-but-paying job near the food court, her world gets a little bit bigger. She makes new friends, finds new hobbies, and even starts a relationship with a fellow goth. Life starts getting good -- that is, until she finds out her boyfriend already has a girlfriend. And that her parents may be divorcing. And that the special attention she's getting from her favorite teacher has an inappropriate, dangerous history. All Liv wants is to find people who get her. Why does it have to be so hard? From acclaimed comic artist Kate Leth comes a story about standing up, standing out, and finding yourself despite everything high school throws at you." -- from publisher.
