Cute, if predictable! As a huge Teen Titans fan, I had fun :)

Good story about finding your own identity. Love the art and the cameos by other Titans members were fun. Didn't connect super hard to the main character, but I'm way out of the target audience for this one.

I am on a graphic novel kick and this was a fun one.  Gorgeous art with kickass females and a great message.

Growing up with a famous superhero parent isn't easy. Tamaki explores the struggles of growing up in a parent's shadow and trying to find a personal identity. Unlike many teen stories, the mom is portrayed sympathetically
and part of the protagonist's journey is learning to see her mother as a person, embrace her as she is, and learn to coexist. I just wish we found out who Mandy's father was.

So far I've loved everything I've read by Mariko Tamaki, so I will continue to buy anything with her name on it.

A cute (queer) coming of age story about a mother-daughter relationship and teen rebellion.

Fav thing about this book is all of Starfire's amazing outfits!! The art is general was just really strong.
