Just one of the boys

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review "you've got nothing too worry about, baby brother," i say, nestling my head in his ear. "Because I'm not Alice. I'm Al." This book is essentially the movie plot of She's The Man only with Ice skates and hockey sticks instead of Soccer balls. Rating- 2.5/ 5 Stars. Alright so let's jump into my rendition of the plot quickly and then we'll delve into the everything else! Alice has one passion- Ice Hockey. She has one thought in her head- Ice Hockey. She doesn't let anything else distract her nor deter he from her goal- Join the ice hockey team named the Falcons and get scouted for the NHL. But one little problem...she's 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 save his position on the Falcons team. How you ask? She'll become one of the boys in his place until Xander can return! Another little problem is a hot and cold Canadian named Hayden who sends her heart soaring." Alright, so see what i meant by its essentially she's the man but with ice skates instead? i enjoyed this book it was a sweet and relaxing read. However, it was so full of stereotypical characters that i didn't feel emotionally connected. So like, i liked it but i didn't feel the burning sting of pain when the characters discussed sad things about their families. I didn't feel like my heart would burst when the characters got romantic. I just...read it and smiled. It followed the plot of She's the man sooo closely though- the mother who tears up because she wants her daughter to be a lady, Alice has to do charity balls but not debutant training, figure skating. You see? So if you want a sweet, slice of life book with romance, this is your book! I really don't mean that in a bad way. This author writes well and it was cute. Also, maybe I'm too innocent but for 16 year olds, man they drink a lot! how do they even get access to the stuff?! i'm 22 and i don't even do that! but anyway, it's cute. I'll stop there, stay awesome my lovelies! The Book Herald Twitter- @thebookherald
