Was a bit too bro-y with the members of the team for my taste, just a lot of college partying etc.  Having more of an interest in hockey might’ve helped. Would rec if you’re into slow burn queer hockey graphic novels.

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.

it reveals this pretty early in the book but Jack, after feeling extremely anxious for several years, attempts an overdose. This is more hinted at and brought up only through subtext. Jack suffers from panic attacks as well as Bitty for having PTSD from being called slurs growing up. This is not focused on heavily but brought up a few times

Such a cute starting college graphic novel. It follows Bitty and his hockey team through this first two years of college. It is gay and comes out to his friends and gets better at hockey. The group of friends are so lovable and cute. It’s cool how the author had it play out much of the book from vlog posts and tweets.
