This was freaking adorable from start to finish. I loved the hockey side of things. I loved the musical theatre side of things. I loved the friendships that developed in the course of the story. My one complaint is that I found - as has been the case with several of Faith Erin Hicks' books - the ending is extremely abrupt and somewhat open ended and that kind of drove me up the wall.

Another Blue Hen Nomination read. I thought this graphic novel was super cute! It was such a nice story and had a great message to it as well about many different types of relationships and what holds or breaks them apart. It also touches on how trauma can effect a relationship and its growth or lack of. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the art and highly recommend it.
