Picked this up from a recommendation from a co-worker and then a different co-worker ended up giving it to me the following day for our secret santa exchange, so win-win! They were absolutely right that I would love this, and I am so, so happy to own a copy. Been trying to own more of my favorite graphic novels just because graphic novels are the absolute best.
This book is a delight. The art style reflects the sort of whimsical nature of the story, two girls that fall for each other, and then go to parties trying to return stuff they've stolen. What isn't to like about that storyline? Many shenanigans ensue, quickly engrossing you in the story.
In addition to the lighthearted nature of the book, Byron doesn't shy away from more difficult topics like mental health and the ways we perceive people. There's great chemsitry between all of the characters (and Ella has a seriously kickass best friend).
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this and am so glad to add it to my collection!

Thank you to Nobrow Ltd and NetGalley for this eARC. This was such a sweet and wholesome sapphic romance, told in dual-POV. Ella steals when she drinks and Madeline steals to feel some control over her depression, they both go on a mission to return everything that was stolen.
This was such a fun and sweet book! The relationship between Madeline and Ella was so caring and wholesome, I loved it so much. I also loved Leslie and Ella’s friendship too!! I really enjoyed this and would recommend to anyone who likes sapphic romances!
