The story of a girl with shapeshifting powers who becomes a boy to get the girl she's fallen in love with. And things proceed to escalate quickly.
This story is full of twists as it morphs from high school drama to science fiction political thriller, with bits of horror and superhero flavor along with way.
The characters are complex, and the story manages to constantly go in directions that are unexpected, but at the same time are logical repercussions of the (often bad) decisions by the characters.
Writer Jennie Wood tackles a a range of current political issues, especially as the story reaches its climax, and handles them without going astray from the strong character-driven narrative.

Not my favorite art style - the interiors are far less detailed than this cover - but the story is convoluted and weird in all the best ways, so totally worth it. Identity, relationships, shape-shifting, the idea of two-spirits and Trans people, all mixed in with the horrors of late high school and government conspiracies. I think this is all of it, and it does end neatly and messily at the same time, making it quite the ride.
