The Squad

Dedication: to BH: I remember. 

To BL: I’ll never forget. ~ M. T. H. 

to my mom, who has been mh unwavering support and biggest fan for as long as i can remember. ~ L. S. 

First sentence:’the decorations for Spring Fling were coming down and Thatcher had been dead for a week before we realized, like, the full gravity of our situation. 

Favorite sentences: “it didn’t matter that I can’t dance. All that mattered was I had friends to dance with.”

“You’re no alpha - you’re a liability.”

Associated songs: Candy Stores, Heathers the Broadway Musical

Apex Predator, Mean Girls Broadway musical. 

May I just say, I have been eagerly waiting to read this book ever since my request for it on Netgalley was denied originally.  I finally found a copy of it at my local library, and I am happy to say that this one did NOT disappoint!

Sapphic. Werewolves. 

With a hint of Heathers, and a dash of Mean Girls, and a heaping tablespoon of Teen Wolf: these are a few of my favorite things. Combined together, all these elements made me happy.

What a fun quick read - the art was beautiful and well detailed, while remaining stylized. The story itself was Heathers meets Ginger Snaps with a tad less bitchiness. While I wish the end was a little more drawn out, the story was tight and well done. We love a queer awakening.
