A review by natalie_stjean
Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North by Blair Braverman

3.0

I really wanted to love this book, but... it was just ok. I ended up agreeing with the many reviewers who said that this book suffers from having one storyline that is just not as interesting. And I feel bad about that, because this was likely a very hard, very personal, book to write. I get what she was trying to do by arranging it the way she did. And I'm glad that she is open about the shitty, abusive situations she found herself in - unlike some reviewers I don't think the whole book should have been about dog sledding, nor did I expect it to be. Just maybe the "present" storyline could be shortened considerably and still say what it needs to say.
