Ella can’t seem to remember a single thing from the party the night before at a 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 Madeline, 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.

An adorable sapphic romance about two teens who steal! Such a sweet and funny story with complex, flawed characters that you can't help but love, along with gorgeous, emotive artwork. - Alice Oseman, creator of Heartstopper
A charming coming-of-age story with lovely, emotive illustrations. - Buzzfeed
Bryon renders both characters and backgrounds in lovely, lithe manga art, capturing the sheen of wealthy abodes and populated party scenes, as well as small gestures and moments between the lovebirds. A limited color palette keeps the bouncy narrative arc unified and harmonious. This energizing work from a rising comics talent has YA crossover appeal. - Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
With distinctive characters, lush art, and an off-kilter sapphic romance at its core, this will surely steal teen readers' hearts. - STARRED review, Booklist
"A decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love." — Tillie Walden, Are You Listening
"A rambunctious, charming story... an absolute pleasure to read." — Molly Knox Ostertag, The Girl from the Sea
