This prompt just made me think to check the reviews of that Jerkbait book, and, man, I don't know how it pulled off 4.7 stars on Amazon. I could do better if I could, uh, write full length original stuff :P

I hadn't heard of that one (I usually spend my sports fiction time in Romancelandia, rather than in the Republic of YA) and after I now look into it, I wish I hadn't.

Did you find the article where she talked about how sad she was that she had to cut out the twincest rape scene? KINKTOMATO and all that, but, wow.

I was going to mention that one! That has to be one of the worst, most bizarre books I have ever read. It's not like the hockey parts were good either because she had zero understanding of hockey.

There's so many examples but all you really need to know here is that her main character is slated to go in the first round and he plays high school hockey in New Jersey. Oh and his dad is his agent, because he has one of those of course.

Honestly, it would be 200% more believable if she picked anywhere in Minnesota.

Everything else might be completely inaccurate, but don't most high-end prospects have agents once they get into junior level leagues? Even college track guys have totally-not-a-professional-agent "family advisers."

No, I know all of that. But the book flat out calls his dad his agent when I had assumed he was a college bound player. The dad is also an agent for other players in the NHL and his main mission is to make all of his players sign with the Devils since they're the only team that ever game him a PTO.

Ahhh, yeah, the extra information throws it out.
