I was one of the many Tumblr users who read Check, Please! as it was being published page by page in blog format back in the day. I was super excited to see this author not only get published, but to see them reach mainstream success and appearing in wide-scale bookstores like Barnes & Noble. I started reading the paperback version that I got a very long time ago, but finally got a chance to finish it this weekend.

This graphic novel is such a fun little romp, great for both active and non-fans of hockey with great found family vibes and a cute slow burn romance. All of the characters are very endearing and I love them dearly. Full gator rating because Bitty is hella gay. Only four stars because while I enjoyed it, I would have liked a little more gay before the end of this volume, otherwise a very fun time.
