"Him" by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

Jamie and Wes first met when they went to an elite hockey camp one summer for six weeks when they were 13.  They become best friends and see each other only at camp for the next five years, but they have a falling out after that final camp before heading off to different colleges to spend the next four years becoming top notch hockey players.  When their teams make the hockey final four their senior year, they renew their friendship and eventually return to their summer camp as instructors.  What happens there changes the future of both of these pro hockey prospects.

This was a great story with two strong and likable lead characters.  Jamie has worked at the hockey camp every summer in college and has come to enjoy teaching kids the ins and outs of hockey.  Wes is one of the top picks for the NHL, but his sexuality may cost him his future as a player.   Secondary characters were helpful in pushing along the action, too.  Good stuff, and there's a sequel!  360 pages.
