This was really cute. I absolutely recommend for the Van Isle Easter eggs alone! 

I was instantly drawn to the two mcs, Alix and Ezra. I loved their friendship and the bravery it took for Alix to seek help from someone. I was quickly drawn into their worlds of hockey and theatre and the family dramas that shaped them. The representation of Ezra’s sexuality and how he wasn’t ready or willing to label himself was so nice to see explained. The bullying was awful but it was an honest portrayal of what youth deal with. Being different is never easy but finding your “people” Will open up the world.

This was very cute! Love a sports romance and I loved how Ezra was there for Alix as she was still figuring things out.

Another fine read. The art style is cute but that's honestly the only thing that was keeping my attention - the story is really lacking in anything interesting and by the end, I was mostly just skimming. There really isn't enough material for the story to be anything besides mediocre at best. But again, I really liked the art! I definitely was reading Alix as being autistic

It was ok. The story or characters didn't grab me. Loved the illustrations, maybe this graphic novel just wasn't for me.
