A review by zombiezami
Squad, by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

dark emotional funny tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I describe this book as Mean Girls meets Jennifer's Body. I thought the art was great, and I enjoyed the characters. I didn't like that

Spoiler

the protagonist's love interest ended up being someone who kept making racist microaggressions towards her.

Still, the narrative was fun, and I liked the designs and the story.
