The intersectionality of if Mean Girls was a supernatural thriller, and also queer. Explores themes sisterhood, queer identity, and the righteous anger and hunger carried with femininity.

I don’t want to say too much and give anything away, but this was such a fun read! 

Diverse characters, high school drama, werewolves. What more could you want?

The love story felt a little rushed / out of left field. But then I skimmed back through the novel and there were signs if you knew to look for them. Kinda fun to re-read it that way. There are a few depictions of kissing, but I would say this is more closed door, so no real spice. 

But it was a five star read for me. With graphic novels that means the story was clever or emotionally engaging (the former in this case) and the artwork appealed to my sensibilities.
