I was recommended this book by a friend and all I knew was that it is about hockey. It is about hockey- and everything else a life entails.

 A very real, small town/sports town story. The point of views jumped around a lot, which made it hard to follow at times, but was never dull. Not a good read if you are trying to escape the reality of living in a small town because it is so relatable.
