Synopsis:
Willow: Figure skating was supposed to be my whole world. But one unlucky injury and now I’m down…but I’m definitely not out. I just need to rehab—a boatload of rehab—and who’d have thought I could do it on the boys’ hockey team? Of course, the infuriatingly hot captain of the team seems to think I’m nothing but sequins and twirls. What’s a girl to do but put him in his place? Game on.
My Review:
I really adored this one! It kept me turning pages as fast as I could to find out what would happen. Willow and Brodie were both characters that were very likable and had a lot of depth. Their behaviors were exactly what you’d expect from teenagers. I liked how they were definitely loyal to those around them, but also weren’t afraid to voice their opinions, or do what they think was right. Even if at times their loyalty may have caused the other one an issue with others, that is normal in my opinion, for how people really behave.
They had the spark between them for sure, and it was fun to follow along with them and see where they let it take them. I loved how much Willow really got into hockey and gave it her all. The way the other team members either accepted her as soon as they saw her skills, or if it took them some time, at least they realized that she was there based on her talent eventually. There was one betrayer in the story that I really didn’t see coming. But in a way, I am a little glad how that turned out, because I like the way it all wrapped up. A great story, and I will be sharing with the students in my school library!
