Summary

A Junior Library Guild Selection

From the author of The Last Thing You Said， a YA romance about a girl on a boys hockey team who happens to fall for the team captain。

Holland Delviss wants to be known for her talent as a hockey player， not a hockey player who happens to be a girl。 But when her school team is selected to be one of the schools featured and televised as part of HockeyFest， her status as the only girl on the boys' team makes her the lead story。 Not everyone is thrilled with Holland's new fame， but there's one person who fiercely supports her， and it's the last person she expects: her bossy （and very cute） team captain， Wes。

3。5 ☆Ik moest ontzettend inkomen in dit boek。 Het was echt pas na blz 80/90 dat ik er echt in kwam。 Ik heb me echt af gevraagd of ik nog door wilde lezen。 Maar uiteindelijk werd het wel echt leuk。 Heb er zeker van genoten。 Het had wel allemaal wat uitgebreider gekund。 Ik mis nog wat extra kennis over de hoofdpersoon， ik had Holland aka Dutch graag nog beter willen leren kennen。 Dit boek had best wel een diepe laag ook nog。 Veel dieper dan ik had gedacht aan het begin。 Ik moet wel zeggen dat de v 3。5 ☆Ik moest ontzettend inkomen in dit boek。 Het was echt pas na blz 80/90 dat ik er echt in kwam。 Ik heb me echt af gevraagd of ik nog door wilde lezen。 Maar uiteindelijk werd het wel echt leuk。 Heb er zeker van genoten。 Het had wel allemaal wat uitgebreider gekund。 Ik mis nog wat extra kennis over de hoofdpersoon， ik had Holland aka Dutch graag nog beter willen leren kennen。 Dit boek had best wel een diepe laag ook nog。 Veel dieper dan ik had gedacht aan het begin。 Ik moet wel zeggen dat de vertaling van het boek wat minder is。 Normaal merk ik dat nooit zo， maar nu merkte ik wel echt duidelijk dat het vertaald was。 De schrijfstijl van het boek is wel levendig。 Ik zag alles heel erg voor me tijdens het lezen。 Het boek was wel minder winters dan ik gedacht had。 Dat had ik wel nog meer willen lezen。 Ik miste de kerstsfeer。 Al met al zeker een tof en leuk boek， met een mooie boodschap。 。。。more

3。75/5 pretty cliche and nothing super special。 but i enjoyed it nonetheless。

Light on hockey， heavy on teen romance。 Though， the hockey energy is excellent and the love story was solid。 All in all an enjoyable read。

my favorite book <3

This book was。。。fine。 The romance moved too fast and came out of nowhere。 Holland hates Wes aggressively until he gets dressed up for a dance and then she is automatically obsessed with how hot he is。 She goes from 0-100 in like 2 seconds。 I also just really don't understand how she ended up on the boys hockey team when there is a girls team at the school。 That makes absolutely no sense。 I could see her being able to play on the guys team if there was no girls team， but all the drama she dealt w This book was。。。fine。 The romance moved too fast and came out of nowhere。 Holland hates Wes aggressively until he gets dressed up for a dance and then she is automatically obsessed with how hot he is。 She goes from 0-100 in like 2 seconds。 I also just really don't understand how she ended up on the boys hockey team when there is a girls team at the school。 That makes absolutely no sense。 I could see her being able to play on the guys team if there was no girls team， but all the drama she dealt with in the book was super preventable。 All of that just seemed silly to me。 I know the author was trying to make a feminist statement， but in doing so， she really did make it seem like girls teams are not as good or respected as boys teams。 This enemies to lovers story would have worked just as well if they had just been competitive captains of different teams。 Wish I could have liked this one better， but this is not a book I would pass on to my students。 。。。more

What I was expecting， a short easy-going story， it was exactly what I got。 It was really good sport romance enemies to lovers troop that was really good for what I wanted。 It was short and easy and only did a couple hours。

Loved this book so much<33

leah ，

laughably one of the worst ya romances i’ve read。 i’ve seen dcoms handle the topic with more aptitude and engagement， gave me a good chuckle and put-down-the-book-head-in-hands- “this is so stupid” moments though。 jokes aside the terfy girl power displayed here is ugly and harmful and i can’t believe this book was written post 2013

Realistic portrayal of a heroine battling chauvinism in the sport she lovesA character sufficiently complex and flawed to be engaging and believable with some wise-cracking dialogue to keep me interested and invested in the story。

Mochte das Buch sehr， fand toll wie der Sport icehockey darin oftmals erwähnt wurde。 Ein tolle Buch！

4。5 stars。 Happy to report that this was as good as I remembered！ I love that Biren touches on all the nuances of playing on a boys' hockey team as a girl， and that there's a lil romance involved。 4。5 stars。 Happy to report that this was as good as I remembered！ I love that Biren touches on all the nuances of playing on a boys' hockey team as a girl， and that there's a lil romance involved。 。。。more

This was a fun book about a girl on a HS varsity Hockey Team。 Because I was in HS when Title 9 actually passed， I can totally relate。 Yes， I was on Boys Cross Country and Track， and not a contact sport， but I can still relate！ I liked the story and the settings and the rich， complex characters。 A thoroughly enjoyable book。

Cold Day in the Sun by Sara Biren5/5I thought I loved her first book。。。this is a whole other ball game。Holland is such an amazing and dynamic character。 She is not simply the girl that plays hockey， but the journalist， the girlfriend， the best friend， the struggling teenager， and the woman。 The way that the sexism was portrayed and implicated in this book was realistically golden。 the encounters， to the comments to the harassment is not refreshingly honest but put in the spotlight。 I have no dou Cold Day in the Sun by Sara Biren5/5I thought I loved her first book。。。this is a whole other ball game。Holland is such an amazing and dynamic character。 She is not simply the girl that plays hockey， but the journalist， the girlfriend， the best friend， the struggling teenager， and the woman。 The way that the sexism was portrayed and implicated in this book was realistically golden。 the encounters， to the comments to the harassment is not refreshingly honest but put in the spotlight。 I have no doubt that women in sports live this especially surrounded by men。Sara Biren has marked my heart not only with character development and plots but with romance。 The slowburn was pure gold！ This book included， enemies to lovers， slowburn， secret lovers ah， I need more！All around， I think Sara is underrated！ She is two for two in my book and I am without a doubt going to re-read them！ There is something about the plot and the writing （in this book the incorporated music playlists and in the other， the beautiful timeline divisions based off the months） that keeps me invested till the end。 I can't wait for her new book to be released in September！ 。。。more

The romance， feminism， friendship， family， and just writing in general was amazing。 Absolutely loved this book， will be reading again。

I picked this book up to fill my hockey/sports needs as I wait for the third installment of the Beartown series。 I saw “hockey” in the summary and decided to read it which was foolish of me BECAUSE it wasn’t an enjoyable read at all。 I think I got whiplash trying to keep track of Wes’ treatment of Holland。 There was no buildup at all in their relationship。 Where’s the tension？？ The hockey montages？？ All things considered， I can see how this would work for others， but it did nothing for me。 On to I picked this book up to fill my hockey/sports needs as I wait for the third installment of the Beartown series。 I saw “hockey” in the summary and decided to read it which was foolish of me BECAUSE it wasn’t an enjoyable read at all。 I think I got whiplash trying to keep track of Wes’ treatment of Holland。 There was no buildup at all in their relationship。 Where’s the tension？？ The hockey montages？？ All things considered， I can see how this would work for others， but it did nothing for me。 On to the next book！ 。。。more

Sometimes you just need some young love in your life and Cold Day in the Sun was just that。 It checked the box for every YA Romance cliche， in just the right way。 Plus， in a very sweet twist， we get to see main character， Dutch， finally figure out her own opinion of herself is what really matters。 Sports， young love， and fantastic world building make for one great read by Sara Biren。

Britta ，

If I’m being completely honest the beginning started off and sounded like fan fiction。 But， I’m glad I held out。 The ending was cute and empowering。 Beginning was a 2/5 ending was 4/5。

Cliché and cringy plot。

Holland Delvis speelt als enig meisje ijshockey in het jongensteam。 Om deze plek te behouden moet ze goed haar best blijven doen。 Dit doet ze dan ook waardoor je haar in haar vrije tijd zoveel mogelijk op het ijs terugvind。Haar team wordt geselecteerd om mee te doen met HockeyFest， een evenement die op TV uitgezonden wordt。 Omdat Holland toch wel de opmerkelijkste speler is in het team， wordt zij de aangewezen kandidaat om het interview te gaan doen。 Hiermee zal ze in de schijnwerpers staan， waa Holland Delvis speelt als enig meisje ijshockey in het jongensteam。 Om deze plek te behouden moet ze goed haar best blijven doen。 Dit doet ze dan ook waardoor je haar in haar vrije tijd zoveel mogelijk op het ijs terugvind。Haar team wordt geselecteerd om mee te doen met HockeyFest， een evenement die op TV uitgezonden wordt。 Omdat Holland toch wel de opmerkelijkste speler is in het team， wordt zij de aangewezen kandidaat om het interview te gaan doen。 Hiermee zal ze in de schijnwerpers staan， waar ze behoorlijk nerveus voor is。Niet iedereen is blij met haar bekendheid en Holland krijgt regelmatig opmerkingen naar haar hoofd geslingerd vanwege haar vrouwelijkheid。。。 Maar er is één persoon die altijd voor haar klaar staat: Wes。 Wes is de captain van het team， maar blijkt op andere aspecten ook overeen te komen met Holland。Holland heeft voor zichzelf de afspraak gemaakt om nooit te daten met iemand uit het team。 Ze wilt niet dat andere mensen verwachten dat ze op deze manier haar plek binnen het team behoudt。 Wanneer Holland gevoelens begint te krijgen voor Wes heeft ze hier dan ook heel veel moeite mee。--Ik heb genoten van dit verhaal。 Het is een verhaal waarbij je niet heel veel hoeft na te denken en lekker bij weg kan dromen。Holland is een personage die zich graag sterk wilt houden en wilt bewijzen dat ze als vrouw-zijnde ook een sterke speler is。 Hierbij komt dan ook een stukje feminisme en seksisme om de hoek kijken。 Persoonlijk vond ik dit echter nog te 'klein'。 Als in， er werd naar mijn mening te makkelijk over gedaan。 Ze moet zich maar niet veel aantrekken van de opmerkingen en hard door blijven werken voor haar positie in het team。 Ik had dat graag juist wel wat verder uitgewerkt willen zien。De romantische scenes waren heerlijk。 De relatie die zich tussen Holland en Wes opbouwt wordt heel mooi omschreven。 Daarbij vind ik het ook een leuke toevoeging dat je leest over de hobby's van deze personages en dat dit， door middel van bijvoorbeeld een afspeelijst， ook echt wordt verweven in het verhaal。Het is dus een heerlijk Young Adult feelgood verhaal waar je lekker bij weg kan zwijmelen。 Het miste voor mij het 'wauw' factor， maar dat is natuurlijk per persoon verschillend。 。。。more

I rated this book 4 stars。 I really enjoyed the story and it keep me wanting to keep reading it till it was done。 I just had a few problems with this book。Idk if these count as spoiler， but I'm going to warn you just in case。（view spoiler）[1。 Holland hated Wes and all the sudden liked him。 It wasn't like he just joined the team this was his second year liking Holland and now all the sudden she likes him。 Its kinda wired。2。 I hate how sometimes she is sweet and nice and other times so snappy and I rated this book 4 stars。 I really enjoyed the story and it keep me wanting to keep reading it till it was done。 I just had a few problems with this book。Idk if these count as spoiler， but I'm going to warn you just in case。（view spoiler）[1。 Holland hated Wes and all the sudden liked him。 It wasn't like he just joined the team this was his second year liking Holland and now all the sudden she likes him。 Its kinda wired。2。 I hate how sometimes she is sweet and nice and other times so snappy and kinda aggressive， I feel like she is kinda bipolar。3。 The Ending。。。。。。 I hated it。 I just builds up to Hockeyfest and we don't even get to know if they win it， or go to state at all。 We don't get to know if she even ends up as captain ever。This all could have been fixed by having an epilogue。 She could have at a practice the next year being co-captain with wes or someone。4。 I don't even know how old anyone is。 I don't know how my senior there are， I'm assuming her brother is a senior， but next year will Holland and Wes be seniors。 Or will Holland be a senior and Wes be at collage Idk。 （hide spoiler）]Besides these problems that I had I really enjoyed this book。 。。。more

Very sweet， though a bit unbelievable at times。。。 whose first kiss has tongue？？ （Spoilers？）

Marre ，

Cute， short romance novel。 Nothing crazy but still very enjoyable！

Ралица Нейчева ，

Много приятна книжка， която може да те сгрее， в студени дни като тези。

Monique ，

I liked it。 Cute YA story， with a clear message about feminism and misogony。 It was a little predictable， but again a good story。 I do like how this author， like Sarah Dessen， sets her novels in the same town setting。 You get to know the town， making the characters all that much more real。 It sets a precidence that this is a real place， a real story。。and you know what。。。it is， somewhere。 Dutch and Hot Sauce。

Manon ，

Cute contemporary read。
