What is promoted is pretty spot on. Messy/Grey plot and discussion of rape culture, internalized misogyny, etc were solid and nuanced. The book felt campy a lot in a cute, nostalgic way. Art was stunning.
SPOILERS
(-.25) Name of people to real life predators and rapist made sense, but also didn’t like. Maybe first names, but not lasts. Except queen b because that shit was funny.
(-.5) Class: Glossed over class dynamics in the men they choose except in short discussions about alphas boyfriend. Like the fact that they were dating was more important for plot at expense of seeing the other lost boys/men - specifically the one that was too far. Class was only discussed regarding women (her mom, Queen B, Thatcher, etc.)
(-1) Race: I love the sapphic love, it was slowly built and cute but I can’t get over the fact they came from the biggest micro-aggression perpetrator?? And it was left 100% unaddressed. I’m kinda uncomfortable about how the two black leads (Amanda and the teacher) were portrayed. Like Amanda was played as kinda sassy even though she was like almost always right?!?

This book moves fast. Almost too fast. I feel like it could have done some more to flesh out the characters and make me care more about them, especially given the MC's major shifts from new kid to cool kid to squad to town lesbian.
That being said, the art and story were fantastic. I love the idea of all female werewolf packs hunting in small towns!
The diverse cast and the variety of characters really fill in the average american high school.
It really was a fun read that I wish had more character development.
