Mean Girls Club by Ryan Heshka

3.0

This was interesting, to say the least. The colors are what drew me to it. It had all of my favorites aesthetics. 50's pin-up art style, Pulp fiction covers, the creative uses for pinks, grays, black and white. The plot was.....basic. It read more like a fable than anything, nothing really complex. But it was interesting, but it would been better fleshed out. The Mean Girls Club is a kind of feminism so devoid of substance, you can tell it was written by a dude with some descent intentions, but lacks the education to actually make an impact. I felt the same way I always felt, when it comes to the righteous indignation towards patriarchy....when I was 14. It felt like the Tarantino feminism, that was inspired by the Kill Bill movies, or someone who was really into Tura Satana (who is boss, do not mistake me). It's a feminism born of absolute tragedy, of injustice, of degradation, which is valid, but it seems to be the only one that is acknowledged. Yeah, sure, in the surface it's badass, but there isn't really an definition, no texture. Nothing that stands out.

All in all, a good read to pass the time, but not a very nutritious book.
