2,5 ⭐️
Tengo que reconocer que la mayoría no me enamoraron pero me gusta la idea y son todos muy cortitos.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rounded up to 4 stars. A fun anthology full of snark, silliness and sass.

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Edited by MK Reed (Americus) this was a truly underrated comics anthology featuring a whose who of talented cartoonists who all happen to be women. Many of the stories are insightful and some are downright hilarious. Especially love the cover by Miss Lasko-Gross (Escape from Special). I highly recommend people seek this out! Ideally there would be a copy in every teen and adult comics section of the library in the world. But you may have to search Amazon marketplace, used comic shops and Ebay.

Some are poignant, some a hilarious, some verge a bit on the lame, but all collaborate to create an insightful commentary of living in a shared world of men and women. I especially love the first comic, "Too F'ing Cute"…probably because I identify a little too closely...
