Glove Save and a Beauty

Glove Save And A Beauty is a hockey lover's dream book. K.R. Collins takes us through time and various memories of how Gabrielle formed herself. Yes, I said “formed herself” because that is exactly what she did. She starts life early on skates with figure skating and the ballet that goes alongside it. She spots a coach and a hockey team practicing on the other side of the ice and from that point forward she is fascinated. Watching the goalie and all of their traits and needed abilities seals the deal for Gabrielle. She gives up all of her other activities to pursue hockey...a girl in a boy's field.

Collins bounces back and from the past to the distant past and what connects all of the memories is Thanksgiving. We get to see early on how Gabrielle's orientation is brought to light and how she accepts it and how it forms her.

I found the “behind-the-scenes” look into hockey fascinating. I love the endurance of sports, especially very physical ones. Glove Save And A Beauty is a quick read about identity, family, and pursuing your dreams. Collins scores more than a goal with this Thanksgiving treat.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
