Skim

I enjoyed this. I read it in one sitting and easily wanted more. It's interesting, with a rarely seen MC who's fat, Asian, queer, and Wiccan.

I liked the art style in general, but the faces were weird. I mean, faces ARE weird, but I wasn't a fan of this version of them.

I was shocked with the teacher bomb and wish that had been dealt with at all head on.

It is got it really very right about how schools and groups of neurotypicals react to teen suicide. And how bad those that mean well handle it. Then there's the predator that did talk to Kim the right way, only to be a freaking predator!! UGH.

My favorite part though is how things changed between Kim and Lisa and Katie Matthews. That I can easily read a lot more of, TBH, to see if it changes some more.
