Full Shift is a good coming-of-age graphic novel that I think anyone can relate to, queer or not. The story revolves around Tessa, a young werewolf struggling to connect with her pack after the death of her father as well as her feelings towards her friend Maddie. The romance and grief aspects are handled quite well. The artwork is lovely. The characters are vividly drawn and their personalities - whether in human, werewolf, or wolf form - explode through the page.
My main gripe is while I can resonate with Tessa's emotional journey, she's not particularly likable or memorable. Otherwise, this is a recommendable book for someone looking for great artwork and a story around self-discovery.
