Boy meets girl. Boy doesn't get girl's name. Boy finds girl again. Girl is leaving town tomorrow morning. It sounds pretty standard, but the setting is the future when along with people there are lifelike androids.
Travis and Charley have just met and they like each other. Charley is leaving on assignment in the morning. Travis just wants to get to know her before she leaves. They are both hiding something from each other. Travis sells term papers and he's being hunted by Russian gangsters. Charley may actually be one of the lifelike androids.
It all feels like a wacky comedy from the 80s mixed up with Richard Linklater's film Before Sunrise. There is madcap comedy and escapes, and there are sweet moments where two people are just learning about each other. It's fun and sweet.
I was given a review copy by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.

I've kind of stumbled across some great graphic novels lately and this one was no exception. It was a fun look at two souls that got a chance for one night together and what they learned about each other.
Spoiler alert: You've heard there's a twist. It's not what you think it is. I know the twist is controversial, but I personally loved it. Definitely a great way of subverting my expectations.

We are sometime in the future. Cars learned to fly and Robots are so advanced, they can't be distinguished from humans anymore.
Travis meets Charley at a party to celebrate a friends mom's return as a robot after she died. They instantly hit it off. The next day, Travis goes looking for her because he can't get her out of his head. He eventually succeeds even tho Charley doesn't really want him to find her, because she is leaving for a deployment in a few days. She also has a secret, she doesn't want him to find out...
This graphic novel by Natalie Nourigat and Jamie S. Rich is a Romance interwoven with philosophy about A.I. and their emotions and ethics.
I liked the style of the graphics, they only used black, white and blue and also the humour the main characters had.
If you like Blade Runner you might like this one too.
5/5 Stars

A graphic novel set in a future where androids look and act like humans, Travis meets Charley at a party and has a great time with her but due to circumstances, didn't get the info necessary to contact her. Risking the creepy/charming divide, Travis decides to try and find Charley based on the few things she'd shared about her life. Charley only has a few days left before she leaves town. She's one of those lifelike androids just finishing up the android equivalent of the Amish rumspringa, where the androids go out and integrate in the real world for a year to learn more about humans and being and acting human. When the two finally meet up again, things don't go the way Travis hoped they would and the fact that Charley is leaving in less than 24 hours brings about a whirlwind night of talking and getting to know one another.
This is a story about boy meeting girl, identity, and ethics. The art is clean, the coloring simple (just black, white, and blue), and the story is short but pleasant. I especially enjoyed the philosophy talk and the little surprises and whimsies.

This is a fast-moving, really cute stand alone comic. The story is interesting and somewhat unique, and the art is pretty cool too. It's not game-changing or super memorable, but it's a good quick comic read.
