If Penny Brighton didn't have bad luck, she'd have no luck at all. She lost her job. And her apartment. In the same day. But it's okay, her friend has a cozy storage unit she can crash in. And there's bound to be career opportunities at the neighborhood laundromat—just look how fast that 12-year-old who runs the place made it to management! Plus, there's this sweet guy at the community center, and maybe Penny can even have a conversation with him without being a total dork. Surely Penny is a capable of becoming an actual responsible adult, and if she can do that her luck’s bound to change! Right?

Aaah, this was so good! It's a one shot graphic novel that you can finish in one sitting and it's a really charming read. It's about a 20's something Penny who has some trouble with adulting and is trying to get things cheap or free and kinda forces this boy to go on dates with her in exchange to use the community center showers. It has some basic slice of life elements mixed in with some fantasy. I like the characters extremes like a kid (10ish in age maybe) being a super serious business man and Penny having terrible luck. I really liked all the characters, I really liked the story and felt it was neatly wrapped up, and the art is AMAZING and really sets the tone through out the story. Really fun book and I do recommend! ~Ashley

The boy reminds me so much of my own boyfriend it's crazy. He looks like him, is kind like him, and is a Dungeon Master like him! Crazy!
