I have to say that I really do like reading an anthology. This to me, is a wonderful way to find new authors, and with this one I found two new authors. If you love reading anthologies or enjoy reading hockey stories, then go and buy this anthology now - especially as this is a Charity anthology, helping to raise funds for inclusiveness in athletics.
The anthology has four completely different stories, written by four authors and no two stories are the same, but all obviously all with a hockey theme!!
I think the thing that this anthology brought home to me personally, was not everyone can be out and proud, there are still people that have to live their lifes trying to fit it to what society deems as normal, and cannot really be themselves.. Add into this mix how people react if there is quite a difference in ages, and finally how people treated others who have had to do almost everything just to survive.
I would also say that you don't have to be a hockey fan to read these stories (I have never seen an ice hockey game), these are totally about the relationships, between four completely different couples, with totally different backgrounds. I really enjoyed reading these stories, and urge you to go and buy this today.
