Table of Contents
Books
Painstakingly reworked, revised and enhanced, these are the best things you can buy in this store. Every book is loaded up with dozens of pages of exclusive comics and illustrations that you won’t find online.
Volume One
In a massive 592 pages, this limited-run softcover reissue tells the story of a prickly loner and her very complicated relationship with a boy.
$39
Volume Two: Starting Over
Stickered with “new readers, start here!”, this 276-page hardcover begins with a story summary that leads into the simmering tension of Lucy’s confession — and Mike’s rejection.
$39 $19
Volume Three
Across this 260-page hardcover (now in full color!) a storied pajama party and Jasmine’s nascent relationship are eclipsed by that one moment where Lucy gets her heart crushed on a cold December night.
$39 $19
Volume Four
In the biggest book since Volume One (324 pages!) Mike finally meets the girl he’s been waiting for. Meanwhile, Lucy moves on and the gang gets super drunk—and super emotional—in her absence.
$39
Volume Five
With more exclusive comics than any book before it, Volume Five closes out the watercolor era in 260 pages of fun, anxiety and adventure! Paulo lands his first job, Augustus explains everything and the seniors have a prom night to remember.

Upstage, the BCB card game
Upstage is an easy-to-play fast-paced card game where players take turns to set the scene and tell a story.
For a taste, read the full game instructions here! (PDF)
Each player draws a “script” and takes turns to change up the central “scene” to match the story elements their script requires: 2 characters, a day and a place. As players scheme to set the scene while keeping their intentions hidden, skill, creativity and deceptive wiles are critical to succeed!
Upstage is suitable for 2–6 players, requires no prior knowledge of the BCB comic, and features 94 cards with a ton of unique artwork, in-jokes and references. It’s simple enough for your family and friends, is deep on strategy and (most importantly!) is a lot of fun to play!
