While working on my master’s project (I am happy to say it’s almost done!), I read my way through a few graphic novels as my mind was incapable of focusing on just text on a page. I started with Check, Please after seeing so many lovely reviews. I enjoyed reading about main character Bitty and his baking habits, starting freshman year of college on a hockey team, and making a few friends along the way.

I found Check, Please to be an absolute delight and was the perfect story to immerse myself in while I was drowning in deadlines. I know little to none about hockey but that did not deter me from reading this fantastic graphic novel - I even learned a thing or two about the sport! I also really enjoyed the illustrations - Ngozi Ukazu is a talented writer and artist!

This book made me feel fuzzy inside, I really enjoyed it! Characters were really cute and I definitely feel like it reflected average college life.

Should you read Check Please? Yes.
Should everyone on the planet read Check Please? Probably.
This sweet, heartfelt book is based on a very popular (for good reason!) webcomic. It centers around a college ice hockey player, baker and vlogger, Eric Bittle, who is unsure about where and if he belongs there. The supporting cast of his friends and hockey teammates are equally lovable, if sometimes one-dimensional, and the plot is sure to give you grade-A feels.

I absolutely ADORED this book!!! I found myself laughing out so loud so often and rooting so hard for all the characters; I just love them so much. The plot was a ton of fun but also felt pretty realistic. I just can't get enough of this story, and am so sad that it's only two books...
