By the lake in Beartown is an old ice rink, and in that ice rink Kevin, Amat, Benji, and the rest of the town’s junior ice hockey team are about to compete in the national semi-finals—and they actually have a shot at winning. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys. Under that heavy burden, the match becomes the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown. This is a story about a town and a game, but even more about loyalty, commitment, and the responsibilities of friendship; the people we disappoint even though we love them; and the decisions we make every day that come to define us. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world. Now an HBO Original Series “You’ll love this engrossing novel.” —People Named a Best Book of the Year by LibraryReads, BookBrowse, and Goodreads From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People, a dazzling and profound novel about a small town with a big dream—and the price required to make it come true.

I feel like I had a great reading month with 6 reads, and able to finish my August hopefuls.

I loved how the OUABH series ended with A Curse for True Love. Jacks and Evangeline’s story is one that will stay with me for a while. Jacks is the definition of ‘all in’ when it comes to protecting Evangeline and tries his best to stay away from her. However, I love to see his selfish side, too.

I gave Stuck Up and Stupid 3 stars, and it was a good read. It was quick, and I liked the overall plot. However, I think that the mention of heavier topics was just glossed over and could have been discussed more in depth.

I gave Icebreaker 3 stars. This is not my usual romance type of book, but I wanted to see what the hype was about. Anastasia and Nate had good chemistry, and I could appreciate that they seemed to want to work through their problems. I loved that in the end, everything was wrapped up.

Although I was supposed to finish Local Woman Missing for book club next month, I could not help myself and finished it. I was very shocked at the ending since I had a theory in my mind, and it was not what ended up happening. I definitely recommend it for the upcoming Fall season if you enjoy mystery thriller books. However, I would recommend looking up trigger warnings before reading it.

Ann Liang became a favorite author after reading If You Could See the Sun and This Time it’s Real. Both are young adult romance books that have lots of yearning. Although Henry and Alice are my favorite couple, Eliza and Caz’s story is great. They both touch on self-expectations and how they can bear down on you. I really enjoyed reading both of these books and can not wait t read more from her.

🏒 The Head Game on @Wattpad – a gripping hockey novel about brotherhood, guilt & concussion recovery. When star player Lucas Reilly accidentally injures his younger brother Eric in a playoff game, both must face the consequences on & off the ice.

As a PT, I was impressed by its medical accuracy & raw emotion. Perfect for hockey fans & anyone who loves deep family dramas.

Lucas’ team is winning, but he’s drowning in guilt. Eric’s memory is failing, and it’s his fault. No celebrations. Just silence.

"The Head Game" Chapter 49, "Who Are You?" is a brutal look at the cost of one reckless moment.
