As someone that didnβt understand the hype that icebreaker got on the Tik Tok, I was a bit hesitant to pick up book too. Then I found out this would be a summer romance while they were camp counselors, I had to check this out (thank you to the skip the line copy on Libby).
This book was a great mixture of spice and coming of age. Honestly the parts where Rory and Russ go through and process their family trauma was almost cathartic. Maybe because this was traditionally published, balance of spice and story were much more under control.
Also the set up to my baby Henryβs story in the next book was just fantastic. Fun and insightful read for the end of summer. Well Done!

I wish there'd been more interaction with previous characters but the setting made that difficult.

I do want to say that I did enjoy both narrators (Teddy Hamilton & Lauren Sweet) & I have listened to them before, so it wasn't them. It was the writing & the characters that fell flat for me.
