Giant Days Book Two

Three unlikely friends suffer through heartbreak, try not to fail their classes, and attempt to survive university in this hilarious and relatable new adult graphic novel 4-book series, available as a compact comic for the first time.

Susan, Esther, and Daisy are only months into their first year of uni and are already bonded for life. Susan, newly dumped, can’t help but obsess over her ex’s new relationship. Esther is determined not to be a drama magnet, to limited success. And Daisy is grappling with the new realization of her sexuality and all the confusing rituals that come with dating women. Brought together by a shared determination to reinvent themselves, they’ll face any obstacle head-on as long as they have each other—but they definitely have their work cut out for them.

The bond of friendship endures as the highs and lows of first loves, finals season, and the strength of found family comes to life in John Allison’s beloved long-running series with art by Max Sarin.
