No book--only online (as of yet)--and obviously it's completely 'FREE' (what you can see online, that is--)
(unless you want to be a 'Patreon' patron and 'subscribe' with $1, $3 or $5/month).
Ngozi graduated from Yale Spring 2013. Around that time she wrote a screenplay called
'Hardy' http://omgcheckplease.tumblr.com/post/106090002462
that was about a very closeted undergraduate hockey player who sustained a lot of injuries
on the ice and ended up addicted to pain-killers. Apparently Hardy is a dark story, and Ngozi
thought she could lighten it--and in 2014 this became the comic 'omg Check Please!'
and then May 2015 she started a Kickstarter campaign, which was successful:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/276501805/check-please-year-one
(FYI, checking in hockey: when opposing players 'check' you--i.e., HIT you--in the scuffle
of play--and BITTY was terrified of getting checked, as he is only 5'-6" tall.)

Honey, I want the movie. (And I bet Ngozi wouldn't mind that herself!) :laugh:
