Give Me Seconds! A Review of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Most Recent Book

Obviously when I found out that Seconds existed, I had to read it. The Scott Pilgrim series is one of my absolute favorite pieces of literature of all time, and the movie is a flawless piece of cinema (it got gypped on special effects awards). And no, I didn’t just love this book because it was “by the guy who wrote Scott Pilgrim.” Seconds is a really well-told story with fantastic illustrations.

Seconds tells the story of Katie, a chef in the process of opening her own restaurant. One night, after a day where everything went wrong, she discovers a strange pantsless woman sitting on her dresser, and the woman gives her a message. If Katie writes down everything she wants to fix from that day and eats a special mushroom, she gets a do-over. Katie wakes up the next morning and everything that went wrong the previous day never happened. Katie gets greedy and starts harvesting mushrooms and do-overs. But these do-overs come at a very high cost.
