Absolutely delightful drama about the horrors of loving your family and being yourself no matter what the world thinks of you.
The down-to-earth development of life as a werewolf - horrific and beautiful - and beautifully horrific - was incredible. This is the first and maybe best example I've found of what I consider urban fantasy. A good story about people trying to survive life's more invisible struggles, using fantasy creatures as allegory to say things it would be hard to say otherwise.
