I recommend this for queer femmes that want a darker exploration of werewolf tropes.

I felt this was an incredibly well written exploration of love, humanity, monstrosity, transformation/fluidity, queerness, exile, found family, family, acceptance, self, etc. A lot is going on here, even though the front facing story is very simple.
