I finished in one sitting since it’s a quick read and hard to put down. The juxtaposition of gender and identity with supernatural horror is a winner.

I absolutely loved this graphic novel. It is an excellent read about harmful gender roles, changing friendships, and how easy it is for people to be driven to extremes in trying to conform and please others. All done with some wacky drawings, a kickass main character, and so much world building in a short graphic novel. Will definitely read more from this author in the future!

I'm not a big horror person, but I like Mattie Lubchansky's work and comics so I definitely wanted to read this. It was wild and actually reading it a couple days before the whole submersible thing happened felt very weird in hindsight. I sped through this and read it all in one sitting, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the premise and/or Lubchansky's work. I'll read anything trans people write even if it's fucked up lmao.
