Not sure how dad found this for family book club lol but it was a nice quick read, a fun change of pace to read a graphic novel. I liked the art and the writing I think but the story wasn’t too compelling and the main character was just too much of a jerk for me to like him or understand what the point was anyway.

Yeah, these women were definitely written by a man. The bi-erasure was a real disappointment. Will not be reading more from this series.

Ben sucks! He’s an awful dude and I don’t like him at all! Not an enjoyable read but definitely has some merit when studying internalized racism and micro-aggressions. Had to read for a class
