The art in this book is phenomenal. I love the use of color and I'm deeply impressed by how much world building and story goes on in the background of the panels. I feel like I could look at and discuss the art and themes of this book for hours. I did discuss it with a book club, and everyone at the table felt like it connected to their personal experiences.
A frighteningly realistic hyperbole that becomes less exaggerated every year

My favourite parts were what would normally have been the last page/back cover of the comics - the ads were great! I love how well thought-out they were.
Weird vibes, feminist slant (not super original tbh but I’m always down for some dystopian feminism), and lots of anger made for a pretty solid read.
My only real big hesitation was the fact that a (seemingly) white author created a cast of POC characters, all of whom were very angry. While I fully get that the anger is the driving force of the book, I have trouble getting behind a non-black author writing angry black women.
