Review:

This was so cute!! It felt a lot like a heartstopper in the way it was drawn and written. I love sports romances for some reason, and I have never read a hockey one, so this was definitely something new. A lot of the references went over my head, but overall, it wasn’t hard to follow. I really liked that the main chapter really liked baking. It made for some funny scenes. I also liked how normal it was. It just felt like a real hockey team. My favorite part was with the shower because it was so so funny! I can’t wait to read the next one.

Trigger Warnings:
underage drinking, panic attacks, hazing, and a lot of sexual content comments

Synopsis From Book:

The hilarious and heartbreaking confessions of a figure skater turned collegiate hockey player who's terrified of checking . . . and is desperately in love with the captain of his hockey team. Eric Bittle is a former Georgia junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and amateur pâtissier. But as accomplished as he is, nothing could prepare him for his freshman year of playing hockey at the prestigious Samwell University in Samwell, Massachusetts. It's nothing like co-ed club hockey back in the South! For one? There’s checking. Second, there is Jack—his very attractive but moody captain. A collection of the first half of the mega-popular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: # Hockey is the first in 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.
