I haven't read a lot of Lauren Myracle books but my sense is that she's often trying to bite off a TON of social issues? Anyway that's definitely the case here and it really...did not work for me here. This level of extreme melodrama isn't exactly out of line for comics but also...yikes. also YES the cat does die and I hate it, bye

The art is good but imo can't save this! I guess this could appeal to readers who are just looking to wallow in misery for awhile (which is a valid choice but not my jam).
