review:

Boy meets girl. Boy doesn't get girl's name. Boy finds girl again. Girl is leaving town tomorrow morning. It sounds pretty standard, but the setting is the future when along with people there are lifelike androids.



Travis and Charley have just met and they like each other. Charley is leaving on assignment in the morning. Travis just wants to get to know her before she leaves. They are both hiding something from each other. Travis sells term papers and he's being hunted by Russian gangsters. Charley may actually be one of the lifelike androids.



It all feels like a wacky comedy from the 80s mixed up with Richard Linklater's film Before Sunrise. There is madcap comedy and escapes, and there are sweet moments where two people are just learning about each other. It's fun and sweet.



I was given a review copy by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
