I really enjoyed this next story in the Blue Line Hockey Series. The only complaint I have about it is that it was way too short! I loved Zimon in the earlier books and was very excited to see him get his story. I feel that there is so much more we could know about Zimon and his struggles and I wish it could have continued a bit. I loved how Zimon's attitude was not really who he is and it was great to see Bryce recognize and appreciate how special Zimon really is. :-) The Blue Line Hockey series is absolutely entertaining from page one to the very end. Every story is unique and I couldn’t help falling in love with this cast of characters. If you haven’t checked out the Blue Line Hockey Series from Ms. Hecht you are definitely missing out.Playing the Point is a fun light hearted read that carries a message within its pages. It starts off with Zimon, the younger brother to Nobel who was introduced in the previous book. The poor guy has taken on so much responsibility to help lighten the load for his brother. His world gets taken for a spin when he meets Bryce.Bryce at first was a character I wanted to hate because of his cocky attitude but as I read I found out more about him. He's dealing with being a gay man and the fear of rejection if he were to come out to the public. But sometimes all you need is love to gain that extra courage you need and Zimon gives that to Bryce.The ending to this story was quite the shock but made it just that much better. Ms. Hecht should be commended for touching on a subject that still to this very day is taboo. This is a must read. Love, happiness and struggles are all a part of life but it’s how we handle those situations that make us who we are. And everyone deserves to have love and happiness in their lives.You have hit another one out of the ice rink Ms. Hecht!
What do You think about Playing The Point (2012)?
I enjoy sport stories. This was one of the better ones.
