I sat down and read Thieves by Lucie Bryon last night in a fit of anxiety. Honestly, my typical reading speed is fast and I like to skim books, so normally my relationship to graphic novels is strained. But the art in this one is so beautiful, with spreads that break through normalcy and enter a dream state. I truly enjoyed the slice-of-life/queer crush story. I recommend this one for sure.
From the publisher:
Ella can’t seem to remember a single thing from the party the night before at a mysterious stranger’s mansion, and she sure as heck doesn’t know why she’s woken up in her bed surrounded by a magpie’s nest of objects that aren’t her own. And she can’t stop thinking about her huge crush on Madeleine, who she definitely can’t tell about her sudden penchant for kleptomania… But does Maddy have secrets of her own? Can they piece together that night between them and fix the mess of their chaotic personal lives in time to form a normal, teenage relationship? That would be nice.
