It's a sin to compare the graphic book and the novel but the thing is I can't help but compare both of them! It is a fun and fast paced filled with witty one-liners(totally loved those) and snappy dialogues, angst, friendships, and relationship drama! It was pretty heavy on that last bit, but I can’t say I really minded that even if it was slightly unexpected.(but that's why we are getting a second book) I’ve been following Fence graphic novels for a while now and when I got the chance to read and review this novel, I jumped at the chance (with a lot of enthusiasm and screaming, may I add).

I totally didn't see this coming :- Fence (ofc) + enemies to friends to bestfriend ( hopefully ) + fake dating + bestfriend to lovers ( maybe in next book) PacatĪ totally welcomed edition as an fence comics fan and a QUEER SPORTS ROM-COM ALL NEWBIES HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR !
