Pascal is a writer who has been recently dumped by his girlfriend of 9-years. He is trying to heal and reinvent himself. One day he sees a woman stealing his book. What follows are his misadventures as he tries to find out more and right her wrongs.

Meh. This book was very bland. The premise had me intrigued, but it fell flat on delivery. I did not connect with any of the characters. The main character seemed whiny and indecisive. It was just not for me.

I like this more than Reunion, which was much more of a one trick pony. Girard (the cartoon avatar) comes off as a little less self-hating/egotistical in this slice of life story about his relationship with a book theif who catches his attention when she steals his book (something he, of course, finds super interesting). Love when the bookseller tosses him out of the store when he returns a wack of the stolen books - cause yeah, he is a suspicious creep. But that's why I have grown to have affection for him over the two books I've read so far. A sort of cartoon Quebecois Woody Allen - with all the baggage implied in that comparison. And the petty theif is actually presented as a neurotic complex human being not a femme fatale. While these books are rather self-regarding, Girard the artist makes sure to observe and record those rotating around him.

A charming slice-of-life memoir recounting Girards's courtship of a book thief as he comes to terms with the end of an earlier relationship. Playful, fast-paced, and fun to read. It doesn't matter how much of this book actually is true; it feels true enough.

Very cute and funny. Good for reading on the train in and out of Brooklyn today.

Difficult to tell what the conclusion suggests, but Girard's graphic novel entertains.

capitalism is a scam. stealing from small artists and friends and local stores is bad but so is stalking lmao i would not have given this man a chance. also if the basis of their relationship is lies, how will it ever become healthy and stable?
