{"product_id":"petty-theft","title":"Petty Theft","description":"A hilarious romantic comedy about kleptomania and booklovers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePascal is in a bad place. He and his longtime girlfriend have just broken up, he's got writer's block, and when he goes out for a run to ease his frazzled nerves, he falls and injures his back so badly that he's strictly forbidden from running. What's an endorphin-loving cartoonist to do? In a bid to distract himself, Pascal throws himself into his other pleasure: reading. And while at the bookstore one day, he spies a young woman picking up his own book. But then she darts out of the shop without paying. Bemused, he decides to figure out why she did it.\u003cbr\u003ePetty Theft is a comedy of errors, a laugh-out-loud account of a man on a mission, and a testament to the addictiveness of book ownership. Pascal Girard intermingles an all-too-true-to-life snapshot of contemporary relationships with slapstick trials and dryly funny tribulations in this delightfully readable book.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the award-winning author of Reunion, Petty Theft is a deftly told, finely drawn contemporary romance that will keep booklovers on the edge of their seats from the first page until the denouement.","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47855992078562,"sku":"MTO-MACMILLAN-2026-06-3-8.98-504","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_503_PVvijIIgP.jpg?v=1780489320","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/en-ca\/products\/petty-theft","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
