lakeh 's review for:
Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy
by Faith Erin Hicks
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Loveable characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Really lovely graphic novel that explored a lot in terms of family issues, sexuality, and young relationships. Loved the illustrations and enjoyed the story.
Really only the main two characters were fully fleshed out, the side characters barely saw the page, and some of the plot points seemed rushed or would have been better with more exploration.
Even with all that, very much enjoyed. Loved the acknowledgements at the end and the sketches!
