Even though this book had a few weird pacing issues in the beginning, once the ball got rolling it ROLLED and I was instantly hooked. I’m in love with the art style and the gorgeous color palette, and the story seems really entertaining! I’m definitely excited to see where it’ll go.

If you're looking for something with Stranger Things vibes, I highly recommend this! About a group of girls who suddenly get drawn into this time/space/otherwordly conflict. It feels like a Brian K. Vaughan comic to me, and I don't know why it took me so long to pick it up!

The writing is intriguing and with the way it ends, you'll definitely want to pick up the next volume. I'm also in love with the color palette, as it just works so well for the 80s vibe that this book is giving off. While the main characters are 12, I do think they read a little older than that. More teen than tween, honestly. But that doesn't hold me back as I'm sure I will grow to absolutely love them by the time I am finished!

I heard this was like Stranger Things but with a main group of all girls. It just didn’t work for me. Maybe you have to read them all to understand what’s going on? On top of being confused, it read very clearly like the female characters were written by a man. They felt very unrealistic to what young teen girls are like, even for this being set in the 80s.

This was an absolute trip. As a reader I was definitely thrown in the deep end, but the MCs also had no idea what was happening, so I kind of enjoyed the confusion? The plot of the story was unique, but it also has some great Stranger Things vibes. I also really liked the colour palette. All in all, I’m really intrigued to see what happens next.
