I had so much fun reading this! Squad is basically Mean Girls meets a pack of wolves. The main character Becca transfers to a new high school and is worried about not being able to fit in or make friends, but to her surprise, she is taken in by the most popular girls in school: Marley, Arianna, and Mandy. But one night at a party under a full moon, she realizes they are hiding a big secret. I recommend picking this up if you want something short and fun to read!

This was a fun YA graphic novel, a queer Mean Girls meets Heathers but with werewolves. The art style was vibrant and pop-y and, and the story overall was fun, dark and easy to follow.

I love them all and I want nothing but the best for the two main characters. But, damn, that ending was ruthless for part of the Squad. I hope they all find peace. This was beautifully written and the art and aesthetic is so nice.

And so begins my descent down the rabbit hole of expensive graphic novels, but look at the artwork and how slick the pages feel! I love "Squad" for its very Archie comics inspired art style, and the wonderfully smart and humorous Sapphic werewolf romance. The characters are all very adorable, their badass werewolf clique is too cute! I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed and unsatisfying, but it was a really visually stimulating graphic novel. So much fun to read!
