A Junior Library Guild Selection

From the author of The Last Thing You Said, a YA romance about a girl on a boys' hockey team who happens to fall for the team captain.

Holland Delviss wants to be known for her talent as a hockey player, not a hockey player who happens to be a girl. But when her school team is selected to be one of the schools featured and televised as part of HockeyFest, her status as the only girl on the boys' team makes her the lead story.

Not everyone is thrilled with Holland's new fame, but there's one person who fiercely supports her, and it's the last person she expects: her bossy (and very cute) team captain, Wes.
