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!
