A review by libraryofthieves
Bagging the Blueliner by Siena Trap

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.

DNF @10%

I really loved the idea of this story, but unfortunately it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t connect with the characters at all. I really didn’t like Hannah. Our first introduction of her is her running up to someone she doesn’t know (Cal) to yell at him about his play style. I found her immature and kind of annoying. For someone who loves hockey so much and knows so much about it, I don’t understand why she wouldn’t just get a job doing something with that sooner, especially considering her dad is a coach and later offers her a job with the team.

At 30 years old, her main motivation is to sleep with a hockey player to defy her dad. I’m all for a woman who knows what she wants but I really couldn’t get behind this being her biggest goal in life that she’s been obsessed with for like 10 years. Maybe this is part of her character development later in the book but I was not invested in her enough to have the patience to wait for that.

Also, the low-key sexism of Hannah being so ‘not like other girls’ because she understands hockey…no thanks
