Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
Girl Juice is a very silly and raunchy slice-of-life comedy following the lives of four twenty-something-year-old roommates. Bunny - a ditzy sex-loving Christian - is clearly the main focus of the girls (along with her beloved dog, Britney), although Nana (artist and aspiring clown), part-time streamer Tula, and responsible Sadie (who is dating Tula) get their moments to shine as well.
Generally the gags are contained to a page of panels, though there are several mini-arcs of stories that will progress over several pages as well (the girls go on a camping trip, Bunny's horrible mother comes to visit, etc.). There are also some running gags that also help establish the characters and some sort of continuity.
The art is cute and colorful and definitely a huge part of the book's appeal in addition to the fun and vibrant characters and their strange, dysfunctional roomie/kind-of-sort-of-friend situation.
Overall, I enjoyed Benji Nate's work - I would recommend it if you like comedic slice-of-life graphic novels.
