3.0

the sapphic storyline feels tossed in for kicks, but the rest of the graphic novel is very intriguing. it is definitely a product of the “women bite back” era of media (ex. Promising Young Woman). wasn’t thrilled with the resolution, not sure what message it’s trying to send, but overall a fun read!

Super cute and quick graphic novel read. Becca is new to town and joins a group of popular girls.

Spoiler

The group of girls are werewolves and they have to eat humans to not be hungry on the full moon.

 

It is giving very much Jennifer’s Body. 
Diverse characters: teacher with non-binary pronouns, character with hijab, etc.

 I liked the commentary on the current social climate around sexual assault and the dig at Brett Kavanaugh. I didn't like how they portrayed the girl who was out of eating disorder treatment as "insufferable". When the main characters had their own sort of eating disorder. But overall it was a great book.
