Review: Check, Please! Book #1: Hockey by Ngozi UkazuĪ captivating graphic novel about hockey, friendship, and love. And then, there is Jack-our very attractive but moody captain.Ī collection of the first half of the megapopular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: #Hockey is the first book of a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best four years of your life. It’s nothing like co-ed club hockey back in Georgia! First of all? There’s checking.

I may be a former junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and very talented amateur pâtissier, but being a freshman on the Samwell University hockey team is a whole new challenge.

I’m back at work this week, though, so I think (hope?) blogging should be more consistent. It filled me with all of the warm and fuzzy feels and has definitely made its way onto my comfort reads list.Hello, hello, I’m back with my thoughts on Check, Please, the amazing webcomic turned book! I know it has been a very long time since I posted, but baby stuff has been keeping me busy. Overall, this series was a quick read but absolutely adorable. My only complaint is that the storyline was a little disjointed at times, but that might be because I am not quite used to reading graphic novels yet. I really liked the art style and the pacing of the story. I loved Bitty, and watching the relationship that forms between him and Jack is a delight. Hockey is a very team-oriented sport (from what I know about it), so the team dynamic is a significant part of a hockey story, and Check Please! nails it.

What I loved about this series is how much it focuses on the relationships between the characters. Over his 4 years, he makes lifelong friends, bakes endless pies, and even finds love with one of his teammates. The series follows Eric “Bitty” Bittle, an openly gay blogger with a baking obsession, and his 4 years at Samwell University on the hockey team. Check Please! did not disappoint, and I think I might officially be a fan of graphic novels. I’m not usually a graphic novel person, but I heard great things about this series, and it was recommended to me after reading Heartstopper (which I loved), so I thought I would give it a shot.
