Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Squad

Okay so this had potential, but I feel like a couple of elements fell flat.

The sisterhood and the found family that I was initially expecting was just not there. Or it was there, but it was a skewed version. The way the MC tried so hard to fit into these girls was just not working (or maybe I'm just too introverted for this 😂) Also the fatphobia and the racist micro aggressions from your supposed "friends"?? No thanks 😭

The feminist theme was good at first too (werewolves preying on boys who manipulate and take advantage of girls). But then it got weird. I know they got desperate and they were starving and all, but still doesn't sit right with me.

That being said, the art style and the colors was just too good. I loved flipping the page and getting to see the art there. I also loved the queer/sapphic rep. That one was a lovely surprise.

I found myself really enjoying this story and the darker concept. But it ended in a way where I couldn’t bring myself to give it 4 stars

A story about GIRL DINNER where a werewolf pack of high school girls eat shitty men. It doesn't give the characters nor plot enough time to breathe.

I enjoyed this so much! I had lower expectations bcs of the things I've heard. The mc was asian and throughout the book there were some really unnecessary comments from her friends - which like were meant to be a part of their character, just to show what kind of people they are but I'm sure we would all be good without it. Other than that I really liked it. The plot, the art, the queering of the popular high school girl experience, i had a great time reading this.
