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.]

Tldr; supporting werewolf women’s wrongs are right up my alley.

dark funny hopeful sad fast-paced

4.0

A fun, fast take on coming out, identity and belonging, but like: with werewolves. I generally enjoyed Squad, though found the pace a little strange in some places, and there were times where panels and speech bubbles were difficult to parse the proper order of.

NICE. 

It’s a little bit Heathers, and highly satisfying. Becca moves to a new town and joins a pack of werewolves comprised of the school’s mean, popular clique. Once a month; they attend glamorous parties and devour any guy who can’t take “no” for an answer. 

It’s a dark and playful feminist fantasy. Oh; and it has a really satisfying sapphic romance subplot. I love this one. 5 stars - will read again!
