On Thin Ice
by L.A. Cotton
OMG this book!!! Moson is… well,.. kind of a jerk. He is a great hockey player. He’s better than he lets everyone believe, because he’s got so much on him. He’s a college student, a hockey player, but he’s also a son, and a brother of an autistic boy who responds to him when he’s upset. Mason’s pulled in so many directions that he’s holding back his talent because he knows if he makes it to the NHL he’ll be further away from his family.
Harper, also a college student, grew up knowing that she was a disappointment to her father… because she was born a girl, and she suffers from celiac disease, which makes her even more disappointing. He wanted a son, and made no bones about telling her that while drinking. I think her father is a jerk. I’m just putting that out there.. and jerk.. that’s a nicer word than I want to use. When her father comes to Lakeshore, as an assistant coach to the hockey team, she didn’t know it was happening until he’s already there… then he takes a liking to Mason and, well.. there’s that layer too.
I’ve written this a couple of times because there’s a lot I want to say, but I’m going to say that it’s an excellent book. The interpersonal relationships and the struggles of families is so real and well written that it will keep you reading. I had the opportunity to read AND listen to the audio and loved the book even more after listening to it and having it read to me for a second time. If you’re a reader, read this book. If you’re a listener, listen to it. But you need it.
