This series of graphic novels had me feeling the same feelings as when I was a teenager and was watching the TV shows I loved. I loved all the characters, and was rooting for all the relationships. This was such a fun read! It follows Bitty, a gay hockey player/baker/vlogger through his time at university.
We have likely missed out on some Hall of Fame level players in every sport, who decided that professional and amateur sports weren’t a safe space for them. Stories like this are needed to normalize that the culture of sports teams can and should be accepting places.
