This was a quick read that brought back memories of what it’s like to be a highschool girl, but this time with agency and power. I loved the character designs and colors of this comic but wish some of the panels were more clear with just what was happening.

a pretty good supernatural take on heathers! the first third of this book was fine, but the final third was what really made me excited. the escalation of events is sick. the style is wonderful, too! i also think that becca’s dynamic with her mom is really realistic and interesting. though it’s predictable, i’d recommend this book for anyone who just wants a little thrill.

fast-paced

3.5

[Note on content warnings: eating disorder refers to Becca's mom, who is overly concerned about her own weight; she does not make any comments about Becca's weight or eating habits.

Does it count as cannibalism if they're werewolves? I think so, hence the tag.]
