As a transfer student to the Georgia OKeeffe College for Arts and Subtle Dramatics, former sports star Charlie is struggling to find her classes, her dorm, and her place amongst a student body full of artists who seem to know exactly where theyre going. When the schools barely-a-basketball-team unexpectedly attempts to recruit her, Charlies adamant that shes left that life behind...until shes won over by the charming team captain, Liv, and the ragtag crew shes managed to assemble. And while Charlie may have left cut-throat competition in in the dust, sinking these hoops may be exactly what she needs to see the person she truly wants to be. From Carly Usdin, the writer behind the hit series Heavy Vinyl, and artist Noah Hayes (Wet Hot American Summer) comes an ensemble comedy series that understands that its the person you are off the court that matters most.

I loved this first volume and very much look forward to reading the next (and I don't often like sports comics)! This is a charming, queer read with energetic characters, awesome creative page layouts, and lots of exploring interpersonal relationships. #comic #LGBTQ #Basketball #SportsComics

It's almost a shame to read this comic in digital format because some of the 2-page spreads are broken up instead of together like this one. #comic

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Over far too quickly but definitely eager to know how this story will continue. Loved the cast of characters, their distinct personalities, and backstories. The diversity of LGBTQ representation was refreshing, lovely, and welcomed. The vibrant panel colors and layouts gave the story so much dimension, movement... And how could I possibly forget the clever college names, the fun basketball montages, and the PUPPIES!?!! I'm ready for Volume 2!
