Ready Player One meets Battlestar Galactica as a teen rock and roll fantasy. I hoped it would be more of a cautionary tale about AI, but it was probably more social commentary about the humans that make money off of it.

Stan Yan liked Abby Aguilera's review of Exposures: A Graphic Novel About OCD: "Review of advance copy received from Netgalley. Middle readers are my favorite age range for graphic novels as a genre and Exposures continued that favoritism.

Stefany has a real gift for language, namely language that makes me hungry! I also loved the other aspects of this story, but the food! Did I mention the food?
