New York Times bestseller Faith Erin Hicks is back with Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy, a young adult graphic novel romance about a hotheaded hockey player who asks for temper management lessons from the cool, calm boy in drama club. It should have been a night of triumph for Alix’s hockey team. But her mean teammate Lindsay decided to start up with her usual rude comments and today Alix, who usually tries to control her anger, let it finally run free. Alix lashes out and before she knows it, her coach is dragging her off Lindsay, and the invitation to the Canada National Women’s U18 Team’s summer camp is on the line. She needs to learn how to control this anger, and she is sure Ezra, the popular and poised theater kid from her grade is the answer. So she asks for his help. But as they hang out and start get closer, Alix learns that there is more to Ezra than the cool front he puts on. And that maybe this friendship could become something more....

Beautiful, moody artwork and characters with relatable struggles. I loved how the main characters found each other and fell in love, it was so heartwarming.
The pacing was too quick and jolted in some parts. The bullying felt melodramatic, but I don't know if that's my privilege speaking, so I'm curious how other readers felt about it. Neither ruined my enjoyment of the story, they were just noticeable enough to break immersion in a few places.
