Description

"I fell so hard for Chris and Alicia and all of the stupidly teenage and deeply human choices that lead them into a pocket dimension of space-time. Who hasn't wanted a redo option on one of the most important days of their life" -Maia Kobabe, bestselling artist of Gender Queer "Mary Shyne is a rare talent." -Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning artist of On a Sunbeam In this debut rom-com graphic novel, two former friends are trapped in a time loop together, repeating their high school graduation day over and over and over-for fans of Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, Pumpkinheads, and Groundhog Day. Chris O'Brien has a genius plan: If he can share the perfect first kiss with his crush, Andy, then of course he'll break free from the time loop that has him repeating graduation day over and over.and over. Alicia Ochoa thinks Chris's plan is doomed. Valedictorian and a total nerd, she knows it'll take more than a kiss to escape the loop they're trapped in together. Besides, Chris may be a hopeless romantic, but Alicia doesn't think he has a real shot with Andy. Once close friends, Alicia and Chris have history-lots of it. As they got older, the pair fell out after Chris ditched her for the "cool kids" and left her in the dust. But when you're looping side by side, you never know if friendship might rekindle or what new feelings could spark along the way.
