Guest is a Metis writer from Canada. I LOVED this book - lots of sports, how two families blend together - strong characters - including parents.
The only little thing that snagged me was the chat room individual Matt became close to - lots of red flags for that - this was also written in 2011. The concern is real that Matt shared so much information with with an anonymous stranger.
