It was much more the story that kept me reading than the art. I find the latter to be rather mediocre, beginner-like. Not the impression the cover gave.

On the left, the back cover. Text: "Sometimes it's easier to disappear into a sci-fi novel than to deal with the disappointing people in your life! The solo debut of writer/artist Kazimir Lee is an atmospheric and profound coming-of-age story about a Malaysian-American teen trying to carve out her own identity in the uneasy space between friends and family."  "Masterful... Azar's earnest struggle to bridge emotional distances is something every reader will relate to." -Rebecca Mickey Mock artist of Compass South and Salt Magic. "Low Orbit is a tender and evocative graphic novel about the pain and joy of all our relationships. You will be drawn into Azar's world with every page. An exquisite debut." -Tillie Walden author of On a Sunbeam. A purple background with objects around the text: a muffin with a candle lying next to it on a plate, an entry ID for an event reading "4-DAy-PASS, star", a pirate-like figure can be seen running in a galaxy; a charger; a moth; a crescent moon and a branch with leaves.

After the sci-fi novel became part of Azar’s story, I was sure there was gonna be a twist in there somewhere, like she’s in a coma and then she’ll swim through the world of the novel, which will help her later on in real life…
