Heartwarming and funny, told in kind of a slice of life style. Made me nostaligic for my small new england college. Also, you will learn a lot about hockey. And very gay.

Moderate: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Homophobia

Both of the main characters struggle with anxiety and depression. The main character might have panic attacks - it's unclear if that's what's happening but it's a main part of the story.

There's also a flashback of one character needing to be hospitalized due to a severe mental illness episode.

One of the characters also struggles with coming out to his family.

I absolutely loved this! Baking and hockey and fun characters. I liked the format this was told in as well; it felt unique for a graphic novel format. While I don't know much about hockey, I learned a lot in this story. I can't wait to read the second book!

SO ADORABLE, I DIE

Mutual pining, soft boys who bake, grumpy/sunshine and tol/smol tropes I love it all!!!! Did the author read my mind omg

And I am not into hockey but after this I want to watch a game. 

This review is incoherent oops, just read the book!!! You will thank me later.
