"When my blades hitting the ice, information technology'south like I can breathe, as if I've been drowning and finally coming up for air."
Mi primer libro Young Developed del 2018.
Alguna vez han visto la pelÃcula She's the man, pues si les gusto, les recomiendo inmensamente que lean este libro, ya que prácticamente son la misma historia, solo que en vez de soccer aquà se habla de hockey.
No, no es una historia que nos presente algo nuevo, tiene muchos clichés, es predecible y arrastra varios huecos argumentales. Pero con todo y eso, LA VERDAD ES QUE A MI ME ENCANTO.
Por estas dos sencillas razones:
➦Vemos a adolescentes divirtiéndose.
En la actualidad tenemos a la gran mayorÃa de historias juveniles, dándonos historias super extra trágicas. Que, si bien reflejan a muchos adolescentes, la verdad es que no todo esta mal, estoy cansada de leer historias de adolescentes deprimidos. Ver una historia donde los protagonistas se diviertan, se apasionen por algo, se defiendan, enfrenten sus problemas sin ser tan extras, a mà me cayó como un vaso de agua fresca.
Por eso me entretuvo tanto este libro, porque me hizo sonreÃr y me recordó que no todo es tan malo haya afuera.
➦El segundo punto importante de la historia es, lo mucho que hablan de Hockey y Canadá. Sin duda se nota que la autora es canadiense, ya que refleja muy bien el sense of humour y estereotipación que se nos da. Si nos gusta el putin, si estamos acostumbrados alf rio, y si en este momento estoy utilizando una blusa de franela. Es estereotipo, por supuesto, ¿resulta molesto? No, para nada.
Hay muchos libros que tienen como protagonistas a jugadores de hockey, pero en este libro realmente sentimos la pación de ambos protagonistas hacia este deporte. Los vemos hablar de él, de los equipos, de juagadas, de posiciones. Hay una escena que mas recuerdo, cuando quieren patinar en el patio trasero de la casa del protagonista, y como die lo peligroso que es por que no es del todo plano, que eso solo se aprende cuando has patinado en una pista de hielo natural, que es totalmente diferente.
En conclusión: Por favor autores denos mas historias juveniles positivas. No todo tiene que ser extra trágico, a veces solo queremos suspirar, a veces solo queremos terminar un libro y sonreÃr.

When I get-go heard about this book, I was immediately intrigued. Everything nearly the synopsis screamed it was a volume for me, and I had quite the feeling that it would exist very much like the movie, She's the Man, which is perfect.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no mode impacted on my view.When I first heard about this book, I was immediately intrigued. Everything virtually the synopsis screamed information technology was a book for me, and I had quite the feeling that it would be very much similar the pic, She's the Man, which is perfect. In Just One of the Boys, Alice has always wanted to be a hockey player. But, because she's a girl, she can't play with the boys. (sidenote: this really resonated with me, equally I was told when I was 12 or xiii I couldn't play on the football team I was a part of any more than, because I was a girl, and we had no girls teams in our surface area!). However, her cunning plan is to disguise herself as her twin brother, and don the persona of 'Al'. We get 2 PoVs in this volume, and the second is from Hayden, who is the star player on the Falcons. He always gets compared to his older blood brother, and wants to practise anything to get out from nether his shadow. When the new rookie actor, 'Al', rocks up, he takes him under his wing, and finds himself drawn to him, and 'Al's twin sister Alice when they meet as well.
The chemistry between Alice and Hayden was unreal. Whenever they were together, the sparks literally flew, and I loved how open they could be with each other. Yes, there were obviously some tension and angst when Alice/Al was revealed, but other than that, there wasn't actually much drama in this book, which was nice. Hayden's PoV was wonderful likewise, and I loved his backstory about being treated differently because of his brother, and how he was finally getting his hockey mojo back throughout this book.
Another thing I really liked in this volume was the friendship, especially betwixt Alice and Madison, and Hayden, Daniel and Tyler - the others who I believe will have their own companion books! The friendships shown were all legit and real, and it made the volume seem even more than realistic, and improved the book! I loved this book, and the definitely comparison to She's the Man was apparent. If you love that movie, this is definitely a book for you!

Alice Bell lives and breathes hockey, and tries out for an elite team with her hair stuffed up in her helmet. When she makes the team, and the motorbus kicks her off in favor of her twin brother the moment he discovers she's really a girl,
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for assuasive me to read and review this cute debut novel by Leah and Kate Rooper. This completely brought me back to seeing Mulan when I was younger and watching her accept on all those boys while in disguise!Alice Bong lives and breathes hockey, and tries out for an elite team with her pilus blimp up in her helmet. When she makes the team, and the jitney kicks her off in favor of her twin brother the moment he discovers she's really a girl, she's naturally steamed. Fortunately for Alice, circumstances work out where Xander, her twin, needs her to take his place for a bit.
I love the natural relationships Kate and Leah Rooper create between family members and the mode they work out family unit conflict in a realistic way. Hayden, Alice's friend and eventual crush, doesn't open up upward to people easily, distances himself from those who love him rather than trying to work things out, and is generally a hothead. And Alice isn't perfect. She's very realistically written. Non always clued in to emotional nuance. Improve at slapping things effectually with a hockey stick than asking her brother to talk.
Of course the large question is what happens when everyone discovers Alice is a girl? and information technology was fun seeing that play out. This is an awesome book for hockey enthusiasts!

Just I of the Boys was one of those YA books that seems like a movie or previous volume that you've read/watched. In it, you volition see Alice Bell. Her whole world revolves around hockey and the twenty-four hour period that she doesn't make a team because she's a girl.. was just the worst day always. Her twin blood brother, Xander, makes it but ends up getting hurt. So, if yous've ever seen the moving-picture show, She's the Man, this this volume is exactly like that.

However, the brother doesn't get injure in that movie..
Anyhoo, she pretends to exist her bother and starts to play for him. Of form, things start to go incorrect. She's making him expect amend than e'er but she's also starting to develop a trounce on 1 of the players, aka Hayden. And then, I was totally aircraft them from the first. It was cute that they were developing a footling "bromance" but how could he not tell that he was a she! It was driving me nuts!
After a horrific play during a game, Hayden finds out her dirty little secret. Sort of like when MULAN GOT Hurt FROM THE HUNS! Again, so many moving picture references and I'm loving it. It'due south also probably why I flew through this volume once I finally had time to dive into it.
..and at present I actually want to scout those two movies - idk why, but hey .. I just might do it.
Overall, I actually enjoyed this volume and I can't wait to dive into the adjacent volume - which I accept!

A hockey romance volume that was actually almost Ice hockey. Shocker! It just doesn't happen that ofttimes.

This is her last chance to live her dream. After some confusion, her brother makes the team even though she is the improve player. Unfortunately for her brother, an injury stops him making his commencement practice. Alice steps in to take his identify until he's better. Alice and Alexander are twins. Even though they are different sexual practice people go them confused all the time. Their program seems to be working. The simply problem is her swain teammate, Hayden.
Hayden has a chip on his shoulder and struggles to control his temper. He is good at hockey but can't seem to stay focused. The new rookie, Al rubs him the wrong mode right from the start. I hateful who does he remember he is!
Can Hayden get over his issues and practise what is best for the team? His new teammate may just be the cardinal he has been looking for.
I loved this volume. I loved the hockey. I loved the twin swap and I loved the romance. Alice and Hayden's relationship holds the awkwardness of She's the human being and never been kissed. It's funny and heartwarming. 5 stars plus I couldn't give more praise to this volume. It was spot on.
If you like sports romances you'll love this one!

When I started this book, I idea information technology was going to be some cheesy trivial volume about ice skating and hockey. How Alice and Hayden were going to fall in love and it'll be all rainbows and sunshines. But I was wrong and I have got to stop predicting books like that.

A special thanks goes out to Entangled Teen for allowing me to read this re-create early on! All thoughts and opinions are my own!When I started this book, I thought information technology was going to exist some cheesy little book about ice skating and hockey. How Alice and Hayden were going to fall in dear and it'll be all rainbows and sunshines. Simply I was wrong and I have got to stop predicting books like that.
This was so much more than than a love story. Alice was such a desperate graphic symbol. She tried and then hard to show us she was this happy get lucky girl that wouldn't let annihilation bother her. Only she couldn't keep that upwardly for long. I saw the sad little daughter who replaced feelings with hockey. With hockey, Alice reasoned, she couldn't feel the feelings she didn't want to feel anymore. This book was more than her trying to accomplish her goal. Alice was trying to find herself and I loved that. I tin can appreciate a proficient story arc similar that.
Hayden was a mess and a wiggle. I did non similar him at first. I wanted to actually dial him a few times. Merely so we got to know him better, as Alice did, and I realized he was a just a hurt boy who didn't know how to express himself. And my hate slowly thawed and I found myself actually looking forward to his POVs. He was actually a rational guy, which is something I tin capeesh.
Overall, this was a proficient introduction to me to sports romance, a genre I don't normally read. I was able to continue up with all the hockey gargon, despite having never played. The detest to beloved trope was used, which is always a plus to me because that is my favorite trope ever. Actually, this was just a practiced solid contemporary.

Holy shmokes, I want to hug this book.It's a modern retelling of Twelfth Night - with hockey. Alice Bell knows she's adept enough to play for the Chicago Falcons and at that place's no rules against a girl playing - she'southward checked. But when she takes off her helmet, her brother is given her place on the team. When she gets the hazard to play in his place, she grabs information technology with both easily. She never expected to fall for the star player, troubled Hayden Trembley.
I loved the characters - they're all flawed, all selfish in their own fashion, but this niggling deception gives them all the risk to learn and abound. Alice learns to embrace all of herself and to find a world that isn't all about her and hockey; Hayden learns to let people (by and large Alice) in and that he is more than his perfect brother's shadow.
At that place was a plot thread with Maddy that I would've liked to see a little more than of - and Xander, for that thing, only maybe that'due south set up for some other book. I liked there was no 'gay panic' on Hayden'due south part (the 'oh noes, I think I'm in love with my best friend am I GAY?') because his human relationship with Al in his eyes was just a really adept friendship.
The hockey metaphors were fun and totally appropriate and while I would honey to read more, the book finished in a good place. Become Falcons!

With her astonishing skills on the ice, Alice is sure she'll fit in easily. That is, until she starts falling for one of her teammates...
Hayden Tremblay, star of the Falcons, can't continue himself out of the penalization box. Constantly living in the shadow of his older brother, Hayden's losing his passion for hockey. But when he gets shown up on the ice past the Falcons' new rookie, Hayden's determined to teach the kid a thing or two. Little does he approximate that "Al's" surprises on the water ice are just the beginning...
The book sucked me in right from the stars. A kick ass girl, who outplays lots of dude on the ice during tryouts and makes the team. Only, that she takes of her helmet and people realize that she'due south a girl and non a dude. GASP!!!! SCANDAL!!!! A GIRL. ON THE ICE. PLAYING HOCKEY. WHAT?????? And then, of grade. The only logical thing to practise as a double-decker that just welcomend her on the squad, is to brand her empathize he fabricated a mistake and really meant her twin brother. Who, well...sucked during the tryouts. SHOCKING, a dude who played mediocre got the place instead of a daughter who played astonishing. I could go on and on about this merely I will end correct here...
Back to the story. Xander, Alice's twin brother really breaks his leg. And Alice is ready to accept his identify on the team, acting like she'south him. Yep Please!!!!!
Twin story: check.
Giving me She's The Man feels: CHECK!!!!
I loved the principal characters.
Alice, I loved Alice so much. I loved her as Alice, I loved her as Al. She was amazing.
Hayden. Let's exist real most him for a second hither, I didn't like this dude at all in the beginning. He was just a mean wiggle, who I couldn't care less about. Towards the middle it changed. He got more backstory and NO, the tragic things in his past didn't excuse anything, merely towards the heart, he became a actual human being being for me that I cared for. He was withal a jerk from time to time.
Loved the minor characters.
Xander. Man, I loved him in the starting time, hated him in the middle and loved him again in the end. There is a lot going on for him in the story, once once more that's no excuse for how he handles some of the things, but still, towards the stop he really stole my middle once again.
Madison. She showed up and I loved her. She was super supportive, she was just such a great friend to Alice. Ugh. She was amazing.
I got bellyaching with the characters a lot of times, they made terrible decisions, the said a lot of awful things to each other. Simply I LOVED THEM.
I loved the story. I loved the writing.
I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed watching Hayden's growth as he and Alice grew into best friends. I call up my favorite part was the Christmas scene where she goes exterior to sit and talk with him about his parents' death. I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters and they changed throughout this book. They had both been through so much hurting and had both been burying it. For me, that was the heart of this book. I love it that I can read a volume that's silly and fun and leaves me giggling simply also deals with characters who have real problems they demand to overcome. Every Entangled book I get my hands on seems to have this element of growth with their characters and that along with the fast pacing and fun storylines is what keeps me coming dorsum to Entangled Trounce.

This book is 100% my guilty pleasure. I enjoyed every unmarried affair about it, but I especially enjoyed the feminist inklings inside of it.

The romance in this book is besides delightful in the best of ways. Alice and Hayden are each other'southward residue and even though Hayden gets deceived into thinking Alice is Al, someone who is an astonishing hockey player who becomes shut friends with him as the story progresses, I ate up every moment they were together. I call back nearly of all that friendship between Hayden and Al was the best part. Alice gets the chance to see Hayden's many layers and gets to realize how much she enjoys every i of them.

More often than not though, if she can skate, Alice feels like she can breathe again. — Nosotros more often than not read from Alice's point of view.
Hayden has the second bespeak of view in this novel. Hayden is a major hockey fan with some emotional baggage fastened. I liked Hayden's indicate of view since he'due south an all around great dude. Hayden is definitely one of a kind dude. I wish there was more chapters with Hayden's point of view.
There were a few small things that I found to be predictable. I'm 100% fine with those things being anticipated, just because the remainder of the volume is then well written.
My first favourite part is when Alice and Hayden meet. I honestly laughed at this point of the book. Come to recollect of it actually, I laughed a lot during my read of this volume. I had so much fun reading this book to be honest. I enjoyed learning some hockey lingo (even though I am Canadian), and I enjoyed learning some figure skating lingo too.
I found the plot of the book to be very enjoyable. There were some scenes that I didn't think would happen which were a bonus. I loved seeing the grapheme development Alice and Hayden went through too. Agh, I loved everything well-nigh Just 1 of the Boys.
The concluding thought I had later I finished reading Just One of the Boys was that I wished I hadn't read it, just and then I could read information technology once more for the get-go time!

"It silly how in that location's billions of people on Earth, and i person tin make or interruption the world for yous," I finally say. "Perchance it's stupid, but I sort of believe there's only 1 real love out there for everyone."
Just I of the Boys was fun YA read, which ways the heroine sometimes got to my nerves.
Get-go of all it really reminded me of She's the Human, merely hockey version. I loved the characters, I loved the chemistry and all.
The reason that admired Al is that she stayed famine but showed her forcefulness. I loved both main characters, simply I don't know why, sometimes Al just got to my nerves because of her selfishness, but that was just it. I tin can't say anything about Hayden, crusade I liked his character.
The story was adept, but some parts left me confused. One of the things, how she got to Canada, with her passport? Since Kevin bought her ticket. Whose proper name was used. Information technology couldn't have been Xander's cause he was in United mexican states...
I promise to see Maddison'southward story. I was actually interested with her beloved interest. Which was unexpected, merely I call back it worked out pretty well!!

A cute, fluffy, sports-laden first endeavour from Leah Rooper that I enjoyed quite a chip! It reminded me So MUCH of the Disney Channel original moving-picture show Motocrossed. Does anyone remember that!? Well-nigh the exact same premise but with motocross instead of hockey! I similar cute and fluffy though, and then it was right up my alley! I tin't await to run across more from this author!

If you overlook the fact how it is even possible to pull the "I'grand changing identity with my twin blood brother", y'all'll enjoy this story! I loved how the relationship between Alice and Hayden developed, how both of them grew and learned to come across not merely their own perspective. I didn't mind the stereotyping, because although it should not happen, in real life there IS stereoty A sugariness ya-romance. I've never seen the flick She's the human being, so I didn't know the story similar many who critized the similarities.
If you overlook the fact how it is even possible to pull the "I'chiliad changing identity with my twin brother", you'll relish this story! I loved how the human relationship between Alice and Hayden developed, how both of them grew and learned to see not just their own perspective. I didn't mind the stereotyping, because although it should not happen, in real life there IS stereotyping and girls and boys both hear sentences like "don't act similar (such) a girl!" .The catastrophe was a bit sappy but thats ok. four,five stars !

"you've got zippo besides worry about, baby brother," i say, nestling my caput in his ear. "Considering I'm not Alice. I'm Al."
This book is essentially the movie plot of She's The Human being only with Ice skates and hockey sticks instead of Soccer balls.
Rating- 2.5/ 5 Stars.
Alright and so let'due south spring to the plot chop-chop and so we'll delve into the everything else!

"you've got nothing too worry well-nigh, baby brother," i say, nestling my head in his ear. "Considering I'm not Alice. I'grand Al."
This book is essentially the movie plot of She'south The Man merely with Ice skates and hockey sticks instead of Soccer balls.
Rating- ii.5/ v Stars.
Alright so let'south jump to the plot apace then we'll delve into the everything else!
Alice has one passion- Water ice Hockey.
She has one thought in her head- Ice Hockey.
She doesn't permit annihilation else distract her nor deter he from her goal- Join the water ice hockey team named the Falcons and get scouted for the NHL.
But one footling problem...she'southward a girl and no matter how insanely good she is, the Falcons won't accept her, but they accept her twin brother- Xander.
When mishaps occur and her twin brother cannot play, she wants to salve his position on the Falcons squad. How you ask? She'll get 1 of the boys in his place until Xander can render!
Some other little problem is a hot and cold Canadian named Hayden who sends her heart soaring."
Alright, and so run into what i meant by its essentially she's the human but with ice skates instead?
i enjoyed this book information technology was a sweet and relaxing read. However, it was so full of stereotypical characters that i didn't feel emotionally connected. So similar, i liked information technology just i didn't feel the burning sting of pain when the characters discussed distressing things about their families. I didn't experience like my heart would flare-up when the characters got romantic. I just...read it and smiled.
It followed the plot of She's the human sooo closely though- the mother who tears upwards because she wants her daughter to be a lady, Alice has to do charity balls only not debutant training, figure skating. Y'all run across?
And so if you want a sugariness, slice of life book with romance, this is your book! I actually don't mean that in a bad mode. This author writes well and information technology was beautiful.
Also, possibly I'thou as well innocent but for xvi year olds, homo they drink a lot! how do they even go admission to the stuff?! i'm 22 and i don't fifty-fifty do that! merely anyway,
it's cute.
I'll stop in that location, stay awesome my lovelies!

I love Alice!
Alice is a super-fun character to read about. She loves hockey, and she's skillful at it, too. Skilful enough to play with the boys. I loved reading nigh Alice, considering she wasn't lik
I loved this book! The romance was sweetness, the plot was enjoyable – and in that location are hot hockey players! What else could you inquire for? Merely One of the Boys is a super sweetness, romantic and calorie-free read, and it fit me perfectly! I finished it in one sitting, and then I regretted it, because I didn't want information technology to be over.I honey Alice!
Alice is a super-fun character to read about. She loves hockey, and she's adept at it, as well. Skillful enough to play with the boys. I loved reading about Alice, because she wasn't like many other master characters you read about. She was fun, caring and stubborn – and I loved how she broke the norms!
Can nosotros please talk about the hotness that is Hayden?
Let's offset with the fact that he's a hockey player – I have a weakness for those, and Hayden doesn't disappoint! I loved to see how he slowly started opening up to Alice, how he started to heal subsequently losing his parents in a machine blow. It bankrupt my heart to run across how sad he was, but it too healed it when I saw how he started living life again.
The romance is so sugariness.
It's not the nearly intense romance, but that was fine. I liked how Alice and Hayden became friends – all-time friends – before they became fellow and girlfriend. It felt actually natural, the way the romance built, even though Hayden thought she was a boy through almost of the book. Information technology was really sweet and lovely, and they are then cute together!
The plot was great!
The plot was really interesting and unique. Since Alice is pretending to exist a boy, information technology lands her in a lot of interesting – and funny – situations that you just can't get plenty of, and it was never slow to see how she tried to balance existence both a girl and a boy. Plus, there's tons of hockey, and I love hockey, so this book was really just perfect for me!
I really enjoyed every moment of reading this book, and couldn't put it down! It had me going through all the emotions; crying, laughing, swooning, and – I tin admit – wishing for a hockey player of my own. If you lot like a light, fun and romantic read, this book is definitely for you – information technology's exactly what YA Romance should be!

Shes the human being mixed with Mulans bad ass cocky, meets ice hockey. This is the best way I know in describing this book.
Nosotros have ii main characters we follow in this book, Al, short for Alice- and Hayden. Both characters live and breath hockey, and when you read when they hit the ice? It truly feels like they are home!

*I received an Advanced Readers Re-create from the publishing house through Netgalley in commutation for an honest review*Shes the man mixed with Mulans bad ass self, meets ice hockey. This is the best manner I know in describing this book.
We accept two primary characters nosotros follow in this book, Al, short for Alice- and Hayden. Both characters live and breath hockey, and when you read when they hitting the ice? It truly feels like they are home!
This is a book y'all could sit down on a nice winter day with a loving cup of steaming hot cocoa and caress with a pillow that you'll: A) Mask Your Screams in B) Throw around violently C) Wipe the tears you'll go from reading this book from laugh worthy moments.
This book hitting all the bases for me, it was a volume of self discovery. A book of romance. A book of friendship. A book of passion. A book of family unit. This is like a Hallmark picture waiting to happen!
Now although I tin't go further into discussing the book, which believe me I want to... I will leave off with this. Although the book didn't leave off in a way that you necessarily need more, I practice desire more than. I would've liked to know more about Alice's mom. What happens when Alice and Xander reveals their secrets. Overall though information technology's a solid five for me, something anyone could pick up and requite a quick read and exist entertained for the next few hours.
