This was cute! I loved getting to see Jonah's journey, as it's one that I'm sure many teens will be able to relate to. The art style was fun and engaging, and really colorful! It fit the overall tone of the story well. My only complaint is that we ablsolutely fly through Jonah's high school years, as we get all four years of high school in one book. It felt like a whirlwind, and I almost wanted a little more time to spend with the characters.
Either way, if you're looking for a queer sports graphic novel, definitely check this one out!
