Ngozi, my queen

I read this as it was posted online issue by issue over the course of several years, and I'm not even lying when I say it changed my life. I now work in professional sports and have found a truly incredible group of friends, and it all circles back to reading Check, Please!. Eric Bittle, you are everything to me. Queer hockey family for life!

Amazing Fantastic Read It

A very good book would love to let my teen read (it's me, I'm the teen). In all seriousness, though this series is lovely. I first read it while it was coming out online and kept up with it till the end. It is heartwarming and emphasizes friendship and family. Also, like incredibly significant as a queer person who plays sports.
