I dont know whats more unrealistic: the fact that their university put on Hamilton or that a man like Nate Hawkins really exists. I think its both.

4.0

This book was pretty solid. I loved Anastasia and Nathan as a couple. I also really appreciated how careful Nathan was to make sure Anastasia really wanted to be with him. I wish I could pinpoint why this isn't a 5 star read for me, but in general I think there were a lot of secondhand cringe moments that I really struggled with. Overall though, I don't doubt that I'll eventually re-read this.

There's a lot of discussions in this book regarding improper eating. While not what may be considered an eating disorder, it is absolutely disordered eating brought about by the fatphobia of some of those around her.

So fun

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!

Brief Summary: I'm in the Henry fan club, and I'm not down with binge drinking.
 . . . . . 
Could have done without that particular ending. Also, I'm not a fan of the binge drinking/alcoholism and excessive swearing in this story. Maybe I just don't like college romance books? I would have liked to read more about the connections that developed between the various characters when they weren't drunk. 

Plenty of spice. Seriously, it was a lot. 

Maple Hills had almost cozy vibes . . . but only if the character had a trust fund or was connected to someone with money. We weren't privy to the "other side" of Maple Hills. 

There were so many characters that were introduced but not developed so I tripped on a few characters that I didn't recognize sprinkled throughout the story. As far as characters go, Henry was the most likeable. I'd read another Maple Hills book if he was the main character. (hint hint)
