While I need to tell you this book needs trigger warning for almost anything you can think of, it is a gripping story. I cried through the entire second half. the author cunningly twists and shapes the story to keep you guessing but in a tantalising way, you never want to skip ahead, but you do want to read faster. It's about (ice) hockey, but you don't need to know about sport to understand the book, it's about people, culture, and small towns.
