Promising debut work filled with delightfully engaging and different characters--the women more fully formed than almost all in cartoon history--and dealing with topics of domestic abuse. It was probably a bit more soap opera than I liked, but there is a great warmth at work here despite the grim tone of much of it, even if it occasionally lapses into bathos.

This was so disappointing - it was a boring, sexist mess where nothing of interest happened. Everyone was a stereotype with no character development, and if there was a chance for female nudity, it was taken.
So glad I borrowed this, instead of buying it.
TW for nudity, sexism, mild homophobia, cheating, implied sex, car accidents, concussion, threats of injury.
