Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s Squad is basically a lesbian Teen Wolf! It’s a queer, haunting fantasy about teenage girls killing predators. But when the police start looking for a suspect, everything starts getting more complicated. Between getting away from the police and falling for a friend, can Becca keep this charade up?
The illustrator did such an amazing job with the art style, following the chic of those old superhero comics in the 80s and 90s. I really enjoyed this, and it was extremely fun to read about women seeking vengeance against entitled assholes (AKA the fucking patriarchy). 6/10!
