I love that this is more or less a “pre-origin story” for Harley Quinn. This is more centered on her when she’s still Harleen Quinzel, taking a gap year at age 18 while interning at Gotham U. Truly a feminist, mysterious, diabolical book. Lot of discussion of Harleen’s internal conflicts and who she is versus who she wants to be. Curious to see where the next two books go but overall, a fun, YA novel that centers Harley/Harleen.
