"I suspected my friendship with Sheila was doomed on the night she blew my boyfriend...." Meet Mandy Halsey, fresh out of college and determined to go from being a receptionist at the assembly line comic book house where she works to being a real-live penciler by the end of the year. That's the plan, anyway. But life isn't cooperating. First, her job feels like a dead end. Second, her personal life isn't exactly on fire, either, especially since her best friend seems to be moving in on every guy who catches Mandy's eye. Is it just Mandy's imagination or has Sheila totally changed since graduation, becoming someone who's almost a stranger? No way, because the BFFs grew up with The She Code. See, girls have rules with each other, so surely the friend Mandy grew up with wouldn't ever break the Code-and break Mandy's heart at the same time... THE SHE CODE, a new adult/single girl/geek lit hybrid, is all about the bright side of angst-because there definitely is one! Featuring 35 sketches and comic panels by Billy Martinez of Neko Press Comics.
