Synopsis:

The plot is, as expected, pretty much like the non-graphic version.

Gotta love the disgusted look on Stacey's mom's face when Stacey horks down her dinner:

Claudia's family reacting to the news:

Trouble brewing at Dawn's house with Jeff's wanting to move back to California:

The Club (and clients): 

Stacey's goodbye party with the baby-sitting clients:

SMS: nothing new

PSA Time: nothing stood out

Misc:

Martin dedicates this "with love to Peanut Butter from Jelly."

Epstein dedicates it to "the Menapace family: no matter what city you're in, you've always made your house a home to me. Thank you."

A picture of Laine:

A lot of little moments from this book have stuck in my memory for years: Stacey jumping on a box to help her mom close it only to find it's full of books instead of clothes, the BSC pricing all the garage sale items including how low things should be priced, Dawn selling spider plants, someone asking to buy the shutters off  the house during the garage sale... I'm happy they made it in the graphic novel!
