Started off well but ended up being a rage finish to be able to stop reading the book.

Like he just seemed kinda toxic throughout the book. He had this chokehold on Anastasia in the same exact way that he complained about Aaron having a chokehold on her. Not saying I support Aaron by any means. I think both of them needed to grow up and let Anastasia be her own person. But in my own personal opinion, there is no way this author should've written, "He is such a man written by a woman" when the dude doesn't even know what tampons and shampoo are.
Other than my qualms with Nate, this book is pretty middle of the road for me. I did enjoy the friendship banter, and honestly to a degree, I enjoyed the banter within Anastasia and Nate's relationship. I enjoyed the sports aspects of the book, I honestly wish there had been a little more hockey content and less "we're athletes so we're also f*ckboys who love to party" content.
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but it's definitely not my favorite read of the year. I am glad I was able to give it a chance. And maybe in the future I'll re-read it and like it more but for now, it's just a 3 star.

Someone asked me on the bus if I was reading ice breaker and she was so giddy, gushing about how much she liked the book.
Not a slow burn!
