Listen. Did I enjoy this book yes? Am I extremely irritated with the ending? ABSOLUTELY! We get all this build up and for WHAT?? “They looked at each other and that’s all that mattered” no ma’am. That’s not all that matters. Who was the first NHL pick???

Icebreaker is one of the best books I think I’ve ever read. I know I say that a lot, but this really is one of the best. If you want a book that will have you on your knees and sobbing over hockey of all things, this is the book that will do it. I think I cried over this book three separate times? It’s just that good and I just want to scream about it into the void!

I loved everything about this book. From Mickey’s depression and coming out as bisexual to his family, to Mickey making real friends for the first time and having a crush that gets reciprocated. All of it was just so well done. And the fact that I absolutely adored all of the side characters just as much as I loved Mickey? I think that says a lot about the thought and care that went into crafting this story. I could read about Mickey and Jaysen and the rest of the Royals team endlessly. Anyway, this is one of my favorite books of the year. Icebreaker is getting a solid five stars, and if I could give it more I definitely would!
