Samwell is headed toward the championships this year will they end up making it and winning or will Bitty be too busy with his senior thesis on pie history? It was very funny how Bitty the other Samwell players banned Bitty from baking to encourage him to work on his senior thesis. The rest of the plot also focused on the changes in Bitty’s life as a student and as a hockey player. It’s not as simple as being simply “out” or “closeted”. It showed how LGBTQ+ people have to come out to different people repeatedly throughout our lives. Sometimes coming out narratives oversimplify the queer experience, but Check Please Book 2 had more complexity. Bitty is less well-known since he’s just a college athlete, but he still isn’t out to his Southern parents. Not only would he have to be out in the public eye, but men’s sports are not known for being gay-friendly. Much of the plot centered on Jack and Bitty being closeted especially because Jack is a famous hockey player.
Therefore, Bitty and Jack are in a long-distance relationship, so I didn’t get to actually see them together as much as I would have liked. But I was a little disappointed because Jack has already graduated from Samwell College. This sequel gives readers more of Bitty and Jack’s relationship which I was looking for. Luckily there is a sequel, Check Please! Book 2: Sticks & Scones.
As I said, in my previous review, the 1st book left me wanting more. Read my review for the first Check Please! graphic novel by Ngozi Ukazu here.
