Check Please was so endearing! I enjoyed it for the lightness, romantic tension and sincerity it brought. I also just miss being around the hockey world, so it was fun to jump back in for a little bit. It was exactly what I needed :)

Was a bit too bro-y with the members of the team for my taste, just a lot of college partying etc. Having more of an interest in hockey might’ve helped. Would rec if you’re into slow burn queer hockey graphic novels.

This graphic novel was super cute and heartwarming. It kept me engaged the whole way through (except for the tweets at the end). The romance was a very slow burn and was not really the main focus of this graphic novel. Sometimes the plot jumped ahead too quickly for me (stuff got left out that I wanted to read). I look forward to reading the sequel!
