Thanks to NetGalley & First Second Books for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Great book! It's a very sweet blossoming romance between the two and how they try to figure out their lives and their identities. Absolutely love the art in this book as well as the expressions of the characters.

This book was adorable. They were parts that highly annoyed me, but the overall story is such a heart beaming, inclusive story that you just want to suck it up. The parts that make me mad was how coach did not stand up for her players even when they said “hey, there’s a problem”.  I didn’t like how other people ignored problems, but when Ezra was so warm and welcoming, it was just amazing. Plus, one of my favorite things that Ezra and his friends do is “permission to hug”. It’s such a great lesson. It’s just in there. It’s not bragging, it’s not pretty, it’s just there. There’s tension when you think about following in your mothers or your father’s footsteps, why it works, why it doesn’t. All of that goes in to this book. It’s overflowing and brimming with heart and conscious and love and hope. While they often joke about being Canadian famous, this book will be all the way famous not just in Canada. If you’re a fan of Heartstopper you need to pick this up.

This was a cute story and I enjoyed the characters a lot. It felt like the storylines didn't have any resolution really and the art style wasn't my favorite.
