Seconds graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley

I like the clean style and slightly odd use of narrative and dialogue. The fiery haired female protagonist runs a restaurant and is trying to start a new one. Reminded me of some of those reality TV restaurant shows. But then she encounters weirdness that allows her to jump nodes in the bifurcating tree of the many worlds conception of the universe. I am interested in the formats of stories. This repetition of time and circumstances, I think works effectively in the graphic novel format where you can show the repetition as well as the changes to various things immediately.
