I liked it. It was cute and I enjoyed it but I wouldn't say that it was by favorite. Just comforting. I do enjoy a healthy, communicative,  gay relationship

This was so heartwarming, these boys are incredible. The romance was definitely amped, but what shined the most were still the friendships and camaraderie of the team - and I´m not complaining. I swooned with that ending! Ransom and Holster are my faves, though, that bromance is for life!

This was a cute, cozy conclusion to this web series. A book about a perky figure skater turned hockey player who likes to bake, finds love and friendship, and enjoys their life is the perfect escape for these times. Yes, he's adorable, but he's also just trying to get by and that might mean not having the best communication with his family. He still has his struggles but it's very very low stakes.

It's a bit over the top, but honestly, that's what makes it fun. It's wish fulfillment. Glad this group of friends is happy and thriving.

The graphic novel form of a queer teen (technically New Adult, as they're in college) romcom, so adorable and hopeful. This 2nd book is the end of the 2 part series and covers Bitty's junior and senior years and a window into his post-college life. I couldn't always tell all of the secondary characters apart and some of the shifts in time were confusing, but this series is so sweet and fun and uplifting. Includes a few additional examiner comics and Bitty's tweets that are all additive to the story.
