I’d been meaning to read this for forever, and today was finally the day! I’m glad I did. Gailey’s writing is witty and hauntingly real. And the art was perfect! I loved the way the text moved with the panels.

I so enjoy this horror renaissance where the villain is society, the rich, corporations, politicians, the media, and previous generations. I love to see protagonists stand up to capitalism and tradition and spit in its face.

Fuck the bourgeoise. Eat the rich. Vive la révolution!

Be smart about it. You have two options. It's me, or it's nothing.

Much like other reviewers have noted, the story is really on the nose and the ending is rushed. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable creepy romp with some great dialogue and a single most hilarious, absurdly funny scene I've ever laughed at in horror: that proposal! Like. All that tension, and suddenly, the ring, and then even more tension. You've got to read it.

In terms of characters, I liked Petal, and I saw a lot of potential in Astor. It's a shame his arc fell flat so soon—it would've been nice if the story played harder into that angle where he didn't really agree with what his family was doing. If he was a bit more on Joey's side, but eventually chose his own, or something to that effect. Joey herself mostly annoyed me until she sprung into explosive action at the end, but I didn't quite buy her switch from passivity to decisiveness.

Mostly, I felt like the story was a little underdeveloped, but there were still some great moments!

This was good but not great. I expected a lot more OOMPH from Sarah Gailey, based on their novels, but this was pretty straight-forward. Does exactly what it says on the cover. It's a very quick read! The art is nothing exciting. You could easily read it in a single sitting, if you're in the mood for a quick, enjoyable, but not terribly surprising horror coming.
