Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley
5.0

**Actual Rating - 4.5 stars

Katie is a hot-shot chef at the highly successful restaurant Seconds (which she also helped open), but wants more, especially her very own restaurant. After a bad kitchen accident sends one of the young waitresses of Seconds to the hospital, Katie finds a cryptic notebook and a magic mushroom that promises to fix mistakes (if you follow the rules). Little does greedy Katie know that she will soon find herself in a classic reality altering debacle. Can changing the past really brighten your future? Probably not.

LOVED the artwork and coloring in this graphic novel. Katie is a short, feisty, and awesomely coiffed leading lady. I love that she is kind of a jerk, and her snarky humor really works for me. I only downgraded this a bit because the ending was just a bit too neat for me. Highly recommend.
