I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Meet Sloane Emily Jacobs: a seriously stressed-out figure-skater from Washington, D.C., who choked during junior nationals and isn’t sure she’s ready for a comeback. What she does know is that she’d give anything to escape the mass of misery that is her life. Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player from Philly who’s been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks. Her punishment? Hockey camp, now, when she’s playing the worst she’s ever played. If she messes up? Her life will be over. When the two Sloanes meet by chance in Montreal and decide to trade places for the summer, each girl thinks she’s the lucky one: no strangers to judge or laugh at Sloane Emily, no scouts expecting Sloane Devon to be a hero. But it didn’t occur to Sloane E. that while avoiding sequins and axels she might meet a hockey hottie—and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It’s not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you’re someone else might be more difficult than being yourself.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I was really in the contemporary mood and this was the perfect book. I didn’t want anything too heavy, and so again, this was perfect. This story is so much more than just two girls switching lives for a summer. I thought that the character development was great and I really enjoyed reading about each of their individual journeys.

Stephanie R I can get that way too with dual POV books. Sometimes you’re so much more interested in one character than the other and their story gets neglected. I think I prefer dual POV when the characters spend more time together so that they don’t take away from each other. Nice review Jessica =) http://priceiswong.com/ Jessica Tamm I agree! In this story I liked both girls, but one stood out to me a bit more.. Also, they were separated almost the whole book and so it jumped back and forth quite a bit. In this instance they both had the same name so sometimes it took me a minute to realize who was who!
