Gary: King of the Pickup Artists

By (author): Alexandre Simard

Illustrated by: Luc Bossé

He’s friendly. He’s responsible. And he can be funny. Sometimes. But Gary is no Casanova. He could be your co-worker. He could be your neighbor. But could he be your boyfriend? In order for that to happen, he’d have to ask you out – but that’s not going to happen any time soon. Because Gary isn’t the kind of guy who asks you out. He’s the kind of guy who sort of thinks that maybe he could possibly think about asking you out eventually. All that, however, is about to change. Maybe. Gary, King of the Pickup Artists is a refreshingly honest romantic comedy, charming and full of awkwardness – with a few Weezer songs and hockey references thrown in, for good measure.

He lives in Montréal.
