Hat Trick

review 1: Since I'm not a hockey fan, I held off on reading this novel. However I can truly say that it managed to. Not only did it keep me completely engrossed in the story, but gave me some unexpected twists and a few deeply heartfelt moments. I strongly recommend this for a few reasons. First, it was not a short read. The author took his time to build his characters. There were no wasted words and the storyline moved along at an excellent pace. Second, the situations were surprisingly realistic. Third, the message of love against hate was clearly spoken. I really cared for these people. Overall, it was an triumph of goodness in the face of adversity. It was well worth the effort.
review 2: This is a book I would recommend to a gay teenager in high school. There were "... moreahh" moments in the book. The first person narrative helps the reader empathize with what Alex is feeling and thinking.The kissing, and romantic feelings shared between Alex and Simon are age-appropriate and not graphic.I especially loved how both mothers (Alex and Simon's) are portrayed. It's a positive, uplifting book (despite a seriously sad occurrence near the end).Definitely a five-star, YA, coming out novel. less
