I received an eARC courtesy of First Second Books via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This is super-duper charming. I love the unique characters. And I love the way that the bullying storyline is dealt with (while also not being wrapped up with a nice, shiny bow-because it never really is as tidy as some books make it seem).
For Libraries: If your realistic graphics are circulating well, then this one will be a good fit. Or your inclusive titles. Or female-centric sports titles. Or drama ones....

Would’ve loved to have seen more depth on Alix standing up to Lindsay and Ezra’s relationship with his friends and the play. Felt a little too quick but unsure if this is because the characters could appear elsewhere/future editions

I really liked the characters - they're both so charming. And I always enjoy Faith Erin Hicks' artwork. But the story felt very rushed and it ends very abruptly.

Reallt sweet. It’s so nice seeing this dynamic in a romance as most of the time it’s an opposite dynamic which I don’t relate to at all.
Also the Canadian famous comments are so true
