It’s like a mashup of Mean Girls x Teen Wolf x Promising Young Woman. The writing was so good, the art was fantastic! I loved how in the scenes with her mom, Becca would have an internal monologue of what each of them “really meant” when they said certain things. It really showed their misunderstandings and their need for better communication. The dialogue in general felt real and not like how some shows or books will have teens talking that is totally overdoing it. Also, this being a sapphic werewolf story was really cool to see, as I don’t think I’ve ever seen an f/f relationship in a werewolf story before. Another graphic novel I checked out at the library in an attempt to read the entire short list fro the Ignyte Awards Best Comics Team. Squad is a YA shifter teen graphic novel -- like what Heathers would be if all the Heathers had been werewolves. And, you know, made today, so that they weren't all straight white people. This story is campy and fun and a little dangerous, and the artwork is bright and colorful with JUST enough gore -- keeping the focus on the interpersonal drama rather than blood and transformations. The story is fast-paced, about girls seeking power within the constraints of their parents, their community, and the expectations of both. When things start to spiral out of control, who will rein them back in? A perfect popcorn balance of tension, teen rebellion, and dark satisfaction, with a cotton candy perfect queer ending. Good, messy fun. I liked this more than I expected to, and that's saying something. Very neatly conceived and executed, with a tidy ending that probably has no business feeling as satisfying as it does. I love that Becca, the main character, wasn't perfect; she jumped into something she knew wasn't right at all, solely on the teenage girl impulse to fit in and belong. And the initial lack of regret was also realistic, as the feelings of validation overwhelmed any negative thoughts she might have had. Also, Marley is a veritable cinnamon roll, and I'm so relieved that they made her eminently redeemable in the end. The love story addition might have felt a little tacked on, but I'm willing to overlook the lack of foreshadowing on the grounds that d'awwwwwwww. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This is an amoral story, and I wish it wasn’t. I’ve read rape revenge fantasies that handled these complex themes better.
The last names of their victims are references to actual known perpetrators, an interesting little twist. ( )
