Unfortunately, I feel like this book could've done well to be a bit shorter. It felt like Hannah was writing very random scenes to fill the void. There was not a lot of real purpose to some of the things that happened, and some conflict was resolved so quickly. I got similar vibes to how I used to write my 1D fanfiction when I was 12 - can be entertaining, but random conflict for the sake of page filling is unnecessary. 

Hopefully Wildfire is better! I did enjoy 75% of Icebreaker, but it fell a little flat near the end.

If this book had been about a hundred and fifty pages shorter, I might have liked it. I still would have found it completely overhyped, but I would have been far less disappointed.

The biggest issue is that there is basically no plot, and when the plot does finally kick in - 40% of the way through the book - it's somehow sidelined. Don't promise me something in the summary and then make me wait 210 pages for it. Because of this, the book dragged on. I found that it had far too much filler and not enough plot. It needed more hockey, more skating, and far less drinking and college students hooking up. On top of that, I found Anastasia to be a whiny and unlikable character. She didn't act like a college senior with Olympic aspirations, but a middle school girl. The book has a perfect set-up for a slow burn, not-quite enemies to lovers, and blew it by having no plot.
