A perfect story for new and old fans of Harley Quinn. Mariko Tamaki expertly tells this story and provides a fun and exciting new origin for the character.
While the story is out of continuity and the standalone tale that requires no previous experience with any Batman characters.
A fun and delightful read.

This book made me like Harley—and helped me think of her as more than just "Joker's girlfriend." The art left me a little unsettled, however—which works for the feel of the book, but I'm just not a fan.

I adored this one. It was super fun and easy to read, while it got serious in the right places.

Perhaps the best of the DC YA line of books. Great entry point for young readers who want to get into comics, and introduces them to social issues in an accessible way. Love the art and the pops of colour throughout. Great cast of original characters and this young socially conscious Ivy is so spot-on to her character. Loved it.

4.5. Such a fun book. Loved the story, the side characters and the art is superb. It brings out the fun and wild sides of Harley Quinn to a YA audience without losing the spark of the character. Just a little bit heavy handed on some dialogue, but nothing cringe worthy. Great graphic novel and I totally recommend to Harley fans.

This book was not for me. Beautiful art though.

Only took a month to finish....
That is in no way because it wasn’t good, I really enjoyed it.
The art is absolutely amazing and the story had so many fun and great messages! The only thing I just wish there was a relationship between Harley and Bruce... you’ll know why once you read it.
I was a little disappointed with the Joker or at least who the Joker was, but other than that it was a fun goofy read!

Finished reading the ALA preview from the publisher and Netgalley, and I AM INTRIGUED! What they shared is just the exposition, so I’m not sure of the main conflict yet, but I love the characters and the set up.

I loved this book. I bought it for my 11 year old daughter and read it after her at her insistence. It's great as a YA book - the drag queens are a wonderful introduction to a well-rounded, diverse world view while keeping the tone light and as an adult, some of the other issues that are touched on - feminism, gentrification - feel a bit heavy-handed but are just right for tweens.
