After insomniac law clerk Frances Scarland is recruited by her firm's most notorious senior partner, she seems poised for serious advancement-whether she wants it or not. But when her impulsive best friend Vickie decides to move to the opposite coast for an acting role, Frances' confusing existence starts to implode...

An intimate study of work chaos and close friendships over time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

NEW YORK TIMES -- YOUNG FRANCESis half coming-of-age story (female-friendship variety), half office novel. Lin's line is both romantic and scrupulously composed, with precise framing that can recall a Wes Anderson tableau. The dialogue ranges from deadly accurate corporate jargon ("How long do you think you can survive without deliverables?") to the kind of stuff you'd utter only to your closest friend ("People can get tapeworms in their brain, right?"). And Lin knows precisely when to let a few panels of premium Canadian silence sink in. (One character is shown reading - wait for it - Alice Munro.)

Story of a young employee in a corporate world

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2018

I got this book from my local bookstore. It was at the new and interesting section. I finished this in a day, having worked at a corporate before, story pulled me into it. I saw myself in Frances and her roommate reminded me my close friends. It’s a good story for a young person’s discovery of life; what they want from it, what happens on the way. I like how realistic and sometime ridiculous at times. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Hartley Lin’s other work from now on.

Amazing storytelling

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021

This was a great story with nuance and depth. The way she conveyed Frances’ emotions without dramatic emoting made this a very powerful story. Having worked in a similar place, it felt very relatable.

Excellent graphic novel, top tier storytelling

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

A graphic novel about a young woman working in a law firm, and far more engrossing than I had expected based on that premise. It takes real mastery to do "slice of life" storytelling like this.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018

Lin does a great job of capturing the shellshock of overworked attorneys and the confusions of early adulthood. The style of the drawings is also very striking. The ending, however, is neither hopeful nor tragic but just fundamentally annoying.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018

This comic has incredible depth. The characters are so well realized that it’s hard to believe this is a work of fiction and that they don’t really exist. The cartooning is top notch and the Peter Bagge blurb on the back cover is right- the backgrounds really are stunning. One of the best comics of 2018.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019

This is not merely a collection of Lin's uncollected floppies. The material Lin added here is essential and give greater depth and complexity to the stories that were already wonderful.
