This graphic novel was super cute and heartwarming. It kept me engaged the whole way through (except for the tweets at the end). The romance was a very slow burn and was not really the main focus of this graphic novel. Sometimes the plot jumped ahead too quickly for me (stuff got left out that I wanted to read). I look forward to reading the sequel!

I followed this book series as it was being posted as a web comic. It’s extremely well paced and well written. The author had expressed that she would write a lighthearted book that dealt with issues many queer teens and young adults deal with in life and she delivered.

4.5

rating bumped up from the first read...this book's just so damn fun, ridiculously hilarious, and heartwarming. just a bundle of pure fun and joy all around.

while the narrative can feel disparate and disjointed at times + im not at all fond of bros or bro-dom, the samwell hockey team's just rly accepting and funny. all the different personalities can create some conflicts but also a whole lot of loveable moments as well. and i love bitty's earnest self; shitty's colorful persona; and enjoy the ups and down of bitty's first two yrs in uni. reading this book makes me rly miss my college days, though it was nowhere near as fun as this lmao.

also im amazed at how ukazu is able to so masterfully write abt ppl wholly different from herself; it's a marvel tbh. it's great that i so thoroughly enjoy this book despite being a reread!

this was really cute and it made me giggle on numerous occasions. bitty is completely adorable and this was the softest book that i've read in a while.

the reason it doesn't get five stars is because i felt like i didn't really get to know the secondary characters, which i would've really enjoyed.
