Katherine Pancol’s best-seller, Me First (Moi d’abord), is adapted as a graphic novel for the first time.

A path to female empowerment, with a focus on sexual freedom and female pleasure

Sophie has made her choice: Antoine. Together, they travel to Italy, settle into a neat apartment, talk about their future, and Sophie already sees herself as a stay-at-home mother. But she is also in her twenties and wants to eat life up. She craves adventure, madness, and expects to be on cloud nine. Is her quest for happiness and freedom compatible with a settled family life?
