“The comic follows a night in the life of a group of girls as they negotiate their way through a world of creatively named Facebook events, pretentious speakeasy bars, casual sexual harassment, surprisingly competent mental healthcare professionals and plenty of fast food and weed as they contemplate their futures in the gig economy and the forthcoming great conjunction. The pace is pleasingly chaotic, managing to evoke both a leisurely meandering conversation, and a fast-paced montage of hijinks. This is achieved through Cash’s fearlessly inventive visuals that play with the page in a whole range of ways. A mixture of hand-rendered messy textures and flat poppy colours, the drawing style is high punk kitsch; lots of blobby, oozing smoke bubbles, diamond glints for emphasis and smart use of colour to create contrast and a shifting focus as characters navigate their environments. Although there is a spontaneous sketchbook feel to a lot of the book, every creative decision is on point, with each crazy cut-up panel layout succinctly communicating the mood and forward motion of the story. What I mean to say is, it looks really cool, but it still makes sense, yeah?” - www.brokenfrontier.com
