Oh my goodness, my heart! I love Eric and Bitty and their relationship progresses so realistically in this book. Their challenges are ones that a lot of people from the LGBTQ+ community face and the story as a whole feels really authentic. While I don't know that much about hockey, that doesn't matter because you're still cheering for these boys and this team. I absolutely loved this and can see why it's so popular!
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
