As Susan, Esther and Daisy edge ever closer to adulthood, they deal with all sorts of adult problems: relationships, work-life balance, haunted garages, family, and of course friendship. The underlying lesson in this strip remains: no matter how complicated or frightening life gets, nothing is too hard to manage if you’ve got a couple of good girlfriends in your corner. It’s a great message. ( )

Always great to spend time with Esther, Susan and Daisy! ( )

graphic fiction series (vol 7=issues 25-28). Ch. 25: Over Christmas break, Susan tries to patch things up between her parents; bumping into McGraw is unavoidable. 26: McGraw and Emelia have had a tiff; he and Ed speculate about Dean's new girlfriend, whom he met in an online RPG; Esther plots to help Ed get out of marrying Posy IRL. 27: Esther recounts a time before she went goth, when she was less averse to being informed; she joins a protest against the opening of a big supermarket chain store and meets Joshua; Ingrid makes some changes around the apartment. 28: Daisy and Ingrid have their first row; Daisy sees suspicious activity around the apartment's storage garage; Susan spends a lot of time at "night hospital."

In this volume Susan goes home for Christmas and seems to be the only one of her many sisters who cares that her parents' marriage may be disintegrating, Esther gets woke about the threats of homogenization and capitalism, and Daisy attempts to figure out how she feels about her relationship with Ingrid.

So many good jokes in this volume that had me cackling along and of course, the heart that I've come to expect from this volume. Exactly the squishy good feels I need these days. ( )

This was great, I really enjoy reading about the girls adventures.
