Loved the pacing until the last twenty or so pages when things kind of fell off. I suppose I was expecting more of a resolution between Alix and Olive, and Ezra and Calvin; instead we just cut to scenes of them getting along with no solid explanation of how they got to that point. 

I also loved how realistic this story felt, from the portrayal of bullying to each character's personal struggles; each character felt believable. The representation of Ezra's sexuality was also handled respectfully, and I found it refreshing to seeing him and Alix defy stereotypes and grow within their relationship.

Love a cute, romantic graphic novel. I've been reading some pretty depressing stories lately so I needed a pick me up like this. The romance between the two main characters is very believable. I like an opposite's attract romance and both the characters had intriguing backstories and motivations.

I got so frustrated when Alix tried talking to her coach about the captain being so cruel. I just couldn't believe a coach would really allow that kind of behavior of one player so blatantly bullying another, but then I remembered as a kid a similar situation happened to my volleyball team and caused a friend of mine to transfer to another school.

Overall, a good story and I wished it had been longer!

I-h-a-n-a! Tässä on draamaa ja romantiikkaa, taidetta ja urheilua, kasvutarina kiusaajaa vastaan nousemisesta, vanhemman uuden kumppanin hyväksynnästä, teinien ja vanhempien suhteista.

Päähenkilö on lätkätyttö Alix, joka pyytää draamapoika Ezraa auttamaan ongelmansa kanssa. Hän on lyönyt joukkueensa kapteenia Lindsaytä, joka on piinannut häntä jo pitkään. Ezra puolestaan saa lokaa niskaansa, koska koulussa häntä pidetään homona, vaikka hän seurustelee ihmisten, ei heidän sukupuoltensa kanssa. Ezra ei halua lokeroida itseään, mutta hänen tapansa ajatella on hyvin panseksuaalinen. Alix ja Ezra hengailevat yhdessä ja yksi asia johtaa toiseen...
