A review by howdyhoward
Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

I wanted a cute romcom and this was exactly that. Staci and Nate’s banter in the first third made me giggle and I was rooting for them for the most part. I wasn’t into their particular type of dirty talk but that was easy to overlook. Listening to the audiobook narrator say “fuuuuuuck” every time Nate was aroused got a little old and started making me laugh by the end. But above all I flew through this long audiobook and mostly had a really nice time.

I will say the epilogue struck me as gross. Staci and Nate have an accidental pregnancy, which would be fine in most scenarios, but they had had a very intentional conversation earlier in the book about how Staci wanted to adopt because of her own adoption and this ending felt like it was really undermining her agency. That choice alone makes me nervous about picking up other books from this author.
