Cat is so precious. And so is Jeffery. It is so hard to see people trying to navigate bullying and hatred.

I actually really liked this alternate reality kind of horror universe where the popular kids look like normal humans and the outcasts like Cat look strange and inhuman. I like how the Outcasts outer forms matched how Cat described their human selves too. I like the theme of looking human not necessarily equalling acting human. And I honestly think that the ending fit this story so incredibly well. 

I love it. What a great story to kick off 2023.
