Thank you Oni Press and NetGalley for the ARC! My opinion is my own.

There's a lot to unpack in this one. I'm not really sure what the plot actually was about as the drama between Cleo (the MC) and her friends felt so closed, like you have to be them to understand the drama you know what I mean? That being said, the story bored me but I think I got the gist of it at around 75% of the book, when things are starting to pick up. I personally loved the art, there's a very gothic and 90s japanese manga feel to it. I like the font selection for the dialogues, it kind of reminds me of the koRn font; although the handwriting font for Cleo's diary was really hard to read and I found myself skimming those parts. However there was a very distinct same face syndrome between the characters so it was hard to tell them apart sometimes (I didnt even realise all Cleo's friends changed their hairstyles until towards the end of the book!)

‼️ Heavy trigger warnings for this book though, as there are lots of slurs and ableist stuff thrown around as a joke. (Although there's queer and disabled rep in this book, which is pretty neat since this comic's been written 20 years ago if I'm not mistaken. ) And also SH scars are shown on page lots of times so I guess I should also put that as a trigger warning to be sure.

Despite everything, I'm quite intrigued about this strange and freaky town, and I want to see what happens next after that wild cliffhanger!
