Seconds: A Graphic Novel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â‚¬ NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY USA TODAY AND THE DAILY PLANET

The highly anticipated new standalone full-color graphic novel from Bryan Lee Oâ‚¬Malley, author and artist of the hugely bestselling Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series

Katieâ‚¬s got it pretty good. Sheâ‚¬s a talented young chef, she runs a successful restaurant, and she has big plans to open an even better one. Then, all at once, progress on the new location bogs down, her charming ex-boyfriend pops up, her fling with another chef goes sour, and her best waitress gets badly hurt. And just like that, Katieâ‚¬s life goes from pretty good to not so much. What she needs is a second chance. Everybody deserves one, after allâ‚¬"but they donâ‚¬t come easy. Luckily for Katie, a mysterious girl appears in the middle of the night with simple instructions for a do-it-yourself do-over:
Â
1. Write your mistake
2. Ingest one mushroom
3. Go to sleep
4. Wake anew
Â
And just like that, all the bad stuff never happened, and Katie is given another chance to get things right. Sheâ‚¬s also got a dresser drawer full of magical mushroomsâ‚¬"and an irresistible urge to make her life not just good, but perfect. Too bad itâ‚¬s against the rules. But Katie doesnâ‚¬t care about the rulesâ‚¬"and sheâ‚¬s about to discover the unintended consequences of the best intentions.
Â
From the mind and pen behind the acclaimed Scott Pilgrim series comes a madcap new tale of existential angst, everyday obstacles, young love, and ancient spirits thatâ‚¬s sharp-witted and tenderhearted, whimsical and wise.
