Reviews

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
A rambunctious, charming story about high schoolers partying, falling in love, and committing acts of reverse larceny. The drawing style is incredibly appealing, with delightful acting and visual jokes that make this an absolute pleasure to read. -- Molly Knox Ostertag, The Girl From the Sea
Reading Thieves is like going on a decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love. Add in to that the gorgeous art, and you've got yourself a truly wonderful book. -- Tillie Walden, creator of Are You Listening
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
