This was...not really what I was expecting, and man, these teens at this school were really awful to Phoebe. There was so much potential here to make commentary on being a teenage girl in current society, but it almost feels like it was taken too far. The way Mackenzie talks about being a girl to Phoebe at points just didn't jive with me.

The art, though, was really great! Probably the best part of the book overall, if I'm being honest. Not necessarily my favorite graphic novel of the year.
