Love the art style here, great character design, wonderful expressions, cute outfits. Impressed with the visual storytelling too, Bryon does some fun stuff with the layouts.

It didn't immediately grab me, but once the plot started rolling along it was easy to get invested.

Was definitely getting a Scott Pilgrimy vibe throughout the story, mainly through its tone and focus on flawed people that slowly try to be better. While this is definitely a comedic graphic novel, it really excels in its drama, especially when characters open up and engage in very honest communication. The characters feel like actual people: they make mistakes, have doubts and insecurities they try to work through, and find security in others. I enjoyed Ella's sweet relationship with Madeline, but even her strong friendship with Leslie was nice to see. 

The simple color palette did a lot for the atmosphere. The mixture of two different colors throughout various points of the story really helped sell the various emotional transitions of the main characters and reinforce a laid back vibe.

Now that I know the author is French it explains all the cigarette smoking. Very cute overall. Excellent story of friendship and love. A drunk thief and a revenge thief fall in love.
