Lonely Boys

Translated by: Helge Dascher

What can be done about the friendships that are bound to break your heart?After a year of radio silence, Ella bursts back into the lives of her former roommates, Jen and Lucie. Her intentions seem simple enough: she wants to mend fences and regain their trust. But it won’t be that easy. Lonely Boys is a story of friendship, sisterhood and self-affirmation. It captures life at twenty-something as three young women navigate the challenges of work, sex and romantic relationships, all the while trying to hold on to the connection they share despite the hurt it carries.

Reviews

“Bédard makes lovely comics, with fully formed characters jumping into our brains from the moment they appear. It’s a mixture of simple line work, expressive faces and body language, and odd behaviour, all adding up to give us that comic-book thing: unusual content that somehow has universal appeal.”
–Mike Donachie, The Toronto Star,/i>

“Starting from the first page, these characters grip the reader with emotion.”
–Amy Barlow, Canadian Literature

“…It’s compulsively readable; once you start, you don’t want to put it down. It’s fun to spend time with these three frustrating but ultimately lovable protagonists… This is a mainstream comic in the best sense of the word.”
–Rob Clough, High-Low
