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.

ezramol's review

4.5

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.

oddduck's review

fast-paced

3.5

[Note on content warnings: eating disorder refers to Becca's mom, who is overly concerned about her own weight; she does not make any comments about Becca's weight or eating habits.

Does it count as cannibalism if they're werewolves? I think so, hence the tag.]
