- CUTE MUTANTS is one of the most fun rides I've taken in a long time. This book had me the minute it referenced both Buffy and The Good Place in one paragraph, after that I was firmly rooting for this ragtag bunch.
- I know zero about the X-Men, so don't worry about that. Sure, there are a lot of references to specific issues and stuff, but the real heart of this book is a bunch of misfit queer teens finding themselves and their queer family.
- I loved that these kids were messy and bitter and jealous and all deeply in love with each other, both romantically and platonically. It's just a sarcastic, coming of age delight.
