I LOVED THIS!!
This was such a fun story about a teen girl living in a town famous for its Sasquatch sightings. Over the years, tourism has died down and the town is in need of funds. A tech company struts in with plans to bulldoze the town for its headquarters and our main character must figure out how to save her town, while also dealing with normal teen problems like figuring out who she is and what she wants to do for the rest of her life.

This book takes many important topics, from friendships, the unknown of our futures, the struggles of our neighbors, what makes a person happy... the list goes on. Each topic transitions seamlessly to the next. Complete with hilarious dialogue and beautiful + fun art. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a light-hearted pallet cleanser and this did and didn't meet my expectations of that.

While this book is not a happy go lucky story and does dig into what it's like to watch a place you love fade away despite your best efforts. It knows how to balance the deep lows with humor perfectly.

Paired with characters that very much make you want to root for their cause and you will for sure fall in love with. This book was honestly a blast from beginning to end.

I loved this book! I found this to adorable but with a solid message. The whole story was so much fun I couldn't put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen now. The book had some great serious undertones as well which is what really sold this book for me. I would 100% recommend this book and I can't wait to get myself a physical copy when it comes out!

The best way to sum up this comic is stunning fun. This comic was about finding yourself and focusing on what's important to you. The main character found her passion after she was forced to go through some changes. I think we all go through a stage in life where we feel lost and we learn to rediscover ourselves and that is such a beautiful thing. I really enjoyed the art of this book. It was colourful and vibrant and dynamic. Just lots of fun.
