Enid and Becky are two cynical teenagers in the mid-90s from a small town who have just graduated from high school and are trying to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives. They're into underground culture and hanging out at the local diner making up stories about the eccentric locals.
The vignettes of their lives are both cynical about the world and nostalgic for the end of adolescence, and the bittersweet ending is the only realistic kind available for their situation.
Although I was older during the time period this took place in (already in university/starting my career), I could relate to the situations and feelings, as well as the references to underground/alternative culture, since I grew up on it as well. I'd recommend this to those who like graphic novels or those who are curious about ones that transcend the usual preconceptiosn about the medium, except for people offended by swearing and mild nudity/sexual content.
