We also see a lot of our favorite from the first book as well! They’re there for all the important points and we even get updated on how they’re doing since they left Samwell. So you know my heart is filled to the brim with happiness. It has everything a reader could want in a book and there is a bisexual character as well.

You have players from different nationalities, there are actual characters of color on page, and there’s so much lgbtqiap representation! Now can you understand why I love this graphic novel so much. There’s also really great representation throughout this entire book as well. And of course, Bitty is still his typical self with baking, cooking, and all the food goodness! I was living for all the food in this graphic novel! We also discover that Bitty is dating someone and we watch them navigate the struggles of being in a relationship with one another. Like how to manage the team and trying to be the best captain for the team that he can be. Of course we’re following Bitty (Eric Bittle) in his junior and senior year, and boy have things changed! Bitty is now the captain of the Samwell hockey team and he’s facing all kinds of new challenges. However, I will keep this review as spoiler free as I possibly can!

So you have to go read the first book before diving into the final book. If you haven’t read the first book, well, you definitely need to change that asap! Book Two follows introduces us to Bitty’s junior year and with that, we follow up on how things ended in Book One. I think this duology has made into my top five favorite graphic novels and I’m not okay! I love all these characters, this story, and there’s a part of me that’s excited to see what Ngozi will come up with next! If you haven’t read this series yet, hop on it! It’s so wonderful and it’s a piece of my own heart. This is the last book in the Check Please duology! My heart is full, but sad at the same time. My heart is so bitter sweet right now! I can’t believe that this is it.

Check please book 2
