Reviews with content warning for Eating disorder - Icebreaker

It was good at the beginning but god at the end it started to drag I just couldn’t make myself finish it, I was ready for something else. I’ll probably eventually come back to finish it, but I need a break.

Anastasia is a rude figure skater. Nate is a large hockey player. As college jocks, they spend a good amount of time partying and hooking up. Anastasia is the type of girl who calls her closest guy friend with benefits (to be fair he is very nice) her best friend even though he disappears halfway through the book and she very clearly has an actual best friend. Also she's in an emotionally abusive non-romantic relationship with her skating partner, which is actually an interesting idea. Nate is rich hockey man wish fulfillment with Daddy issues that are thrown in so he isn't too perfect. This is enemies to lovers in the sense that Anastasia is super mean to Nate for ridiculous reasons until she can no longer resist his hotness, which to be fair is usually how this trope works.

The last time I read a book about college students, I decided I should not do that again, and those instincts were correct (for me). These people have weird, unconvincing baggage and occasionally concerning behaviors.

To be clear, there is a good amount of front loaded steamy content in this book. Do not be fooled by the cutesy cover. The characters' relationship is very physical and, toward the end, very affectionate, which is nice because I don't really see it in their personalities. Hot, boring party kids deserve love too; I maybe didn't need a whole novel about it. But I did read the book very quickly and somewhat enjoyed it, so joke's on me!

Honestly, I thought it was really cute. I know a lot of people hated this book, but I found it to be a nice read before finals.
