Welcome to Litsy!

No other book in the last few month had me so emotionally involved like this one. I wanted to scream, to tear something apart, to cry, to punch someone. We read all about how women are discriminated in far away countries, but suddenly there\'s someone like Michigan, and we can\'t believe what\'s happening right next door to us. It\'s unbelievable. But Mich is such a great character, with every page I adored her more.

" I'm back at centre. Right where I want to be. I never imagined I'd playing so well that I could call the shots. I was always a good hockey player, for a girl. But I am starting to think… maybe I'm just a good hockey player.
I have to keep playing this well. I have to deliver. Like a pizza. Like FedEx. Like an obstetrician. Ick."

Reading by the light of the tree this morning. Can we just finish 2020 with Sundays only until it's over?

I seen this on Netgalley and I passed because I'm not a hockey person. I am so glad I picked this up afterwards I loved it. This is way more than about hockey. Michigan Vs The Boys is about the main character Michigan who decides to go out for the boys team after her school cuts the girls hockey team. It's a story about the struggles and challenges she faces with being a girl on a all boys team.

Rereading this debut because I keep conflating it with another book that came out this year with nearly the same plot. 😂

This was good read not great but good. Michigan is badass let that not be lost, but she is also childish, stupid, selfish and reckless. She makes bad choices and doesn't listen to anyone about anything. She has terrible things happen to her that I know happen to women all over the world, especially women who play sports. I think this book is a beautiful idea and executed mostly in a good way, but I do think this story had some major flaws.

I really enjoyed this great little book about hockey and a girl who just wants to play the game 🏒

On Saturday we hit another library book sale. I think this will be the last library sale we go to this year but I reserve the right to take that back! I was very happy with my haul and shocked to find Michigan Vs. the Boys had already been donated since it was a new release this month! What books have you been excited about getting recently?
