Teammates: On Ice - Book Review

5 stars.

This is perhaps the most real book that I have ever read. I’m not particularly a fan of contemporary fiction, but On Ice is the exception. The characters are well-developed, empathetic, and true. Even as a person who is not a fan of sports, I found the sporting elements engaging and understandable.

The story is told from the points of view of all four of the main characters, and it’s easy to tell which chapter is being told by which character. While it is told by all of them, Fitz is the main focus, followed by Michelle. And yet, all of the characters clearly have their own identities, hopes, and dreams, and they are the building blocks behind who they are as people - just like in real life. The interpersonal relationships are brilliantly explored, and yet just enough was left to make a person want to read the next book in the series to follow-up with the characters.

This book explores women’s friendship, toxic relationships, hockey… it’s beautifully written. I am very much looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Take Shots. And be certain to read the bonus scene that takes place between books 1 & 2! Michelle: July 4th, 2018.
