Sometimes the pace felt a little too fast - I would have liked more time to fall more in love with the characters. But it was still an enjoyable read!

This is a very cute YA realistic fiction graphic novel featuring teammate trouble, friend group conflicts, and figuring out self identity. I didn't love the art style, but I did like the storyline and think it is a great add to graphic novel collections for 8th grade and up.

This was cute. I like the athletic girl/theater boy dynamic. I wasn't expecting it to get into such deep issues, but they were handled mostly well. Personally, I didn't love the illustration style, but that didn't affect the quality of the story.
Overall, it's cute. Not my favorite, but not bad.

If you like Heartstopper, you will like Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy. It’s such a wholesome story, tackling stereotypes and mental health. I loved it.
