Icebreaker By Hannah Grace Book Review

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, is a book that's been everywhere lately. I will do a spoiler-free review, so if there's ever a spoiler coming up, there will be a spoiler alert.

Basically, I'll talk a little bit about what the book is about, share my general thoughts, discuss what I liked and didn't like, and then give a final rating. If that sounds like something you want to watch, feel free to do so. I really appreciate it, and fingers crossed that this is not too chaotic.

So, here's the book. You've probably seen this book somewhere; it was really fun to annotate. It looks really pretty, although you might not be able to see it well. I won't hold the book like this the whole time, so I'll put a picture up of "Icebreaker" by Hannah Grace.

The book is about a female figure skater named Anastasia, practising at University with the goal of going to the Olympics. Nathan, a hockey player on the university team, also practices with the goal of getting into the NHL. Something happens to the figure skater's rink, and they have to share the hockey team's rink, leading to tension. Anastasia and Nathan eventually meet, and get along, and Nathan becomes her partner to help her practice.

In general, I thought the book was an enjoyable read, but I had moments where I felt a bit bored. According to Goodreads reviews, I was expecting it to be phenomenal, but it fell in between for me. It had good mental health representation, especially involving eating disorders, which I appreciated. However, the whole plot didn't resonate with me as much as I expected.

Moving on to what I liked about the book: I really liked Anastasia's character; she was funny and sarcastic. Nathan was also adored; he's like a golden retriever type of boy and fun to read about. The mental health representation, particularly regarding eating disorders, was handled well. I enjoyed the part of the story during Christmas time.

Now, onto what I disliked. There seemed to be many things in the book, yet it felt like there was nothing substantial. Tiny plots kept coming up, almost unnecessary, and they didn't last long. There were many unnecessary plots that bothered me. The book also had many characters, making it a bit hard for me to read.

In conclusion, I gave the book four stars, originally considering 4.5 but settling on four after thinking about it. Four stars mean I enjoyed it, would recommend it, and look forward to the author's future works, but it wasn't a favourite. The book had a good amount of spice, and I would rate it 3.5 or 4 out of 5 for spiciness.
