What it feels like
Reading this volume feels like being dropped into the best, most chaotic summer camp imaginable, where the supernatural is just another excuse to bond with your best friends. The pacing is wonderfully brisk, bouncing effortlessly between high-stakes, monster-hunting hijinks and the quiet, tender awkwardness of a queer first date. It radiates a spooky-cute, sun-dappled energy that is both fiercely feminist and deeply comforting. The dialogue crackles with irreverent humor and hyper-specific pop culture puns, matching the kinetic, expressive art style perfectly. It is an exuberant celebration of found family, embracing your own weirdness, and the unbreakable bonds of teenage friendship. This is the perfect comfort read for anyone who loves their fantasy adventures served with a massive side of heart and hilarity.
