This was a fun one!
This is a wholesome story about Bittle, a gay college freshman bonding with his hockey teammates.
Having graduated college in 2014 (the same year as Jack), this graphic novel felt relatable. I'm glad I watched Letterkenny before this to refresh my memory on hockey terms!
The characters are memorable, especially Shits.
There are a few strikingly well done emotional gut-punch scenes.
The slow-burn romance has me dying to pick up volume 2.
This copy I borrowed from my library included some extra content at the end, including Bittle's tweets summarizing his first two years, which felt authentic.
