Helloooo, Internet Land. Bitty here!
Y’all... I might not be ready for this. 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. It’s nothing like co-ed club hockey back in Georgia! First of all? There’s checking. And then, there is Jack—our very attractive but moody captain.
A 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.
What happens when a pie-baking, house-tidying, Southern vlogger goes and plays hockey in a college far away from home? You get a heartwarming tale of acceptance and confronting expectations and overcoming fear and... romance? Told through panels resembling 16:9 "video" stills this is a cute and unique story about a boy who's far from home and got a lot to learn.
