I will read everything she makes because she knows how to craft such delicately complicated relationships in a space with no air left to take a breath, but you hardly even realize and you never mind

This could've benefited from being a little bit longer to give the multiple storylines more time to sink in, but I still felt this was intelligently woven together and, of course, I'll never get enough of the art style

This was a really engrossing graphic novel, I liked the school setting and that there was a bit of mystery to it. I will say that some of the themes here are definitely for more mature readers, so be aware of that.

An all girls boarding school with an eclusive elite theater group.... that is rocked by the murder of their leading actress and its up to the new transfer student who was the last person to see her alive to delve deeper into the supposed suicide because she knows there's something more going on. This is a unique queer murder mystery that definitely has you curious about what is happening. The art was really well done and the mystery kind of felt like your typical all girls school mystery but I liked that the main character was queer. The story deals with a lot of heavy topics from homophobia to sexual assault and drug use. Definitely check the trigger warnings before going into this if you are under 16 years old.
