A review by basicallyki
Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

3.0

i enjoyed it even though it felt dragged out because i loved the characters and their relationships. i would have liked to see actual consequences for aaron’s actions.
nothing every came of the meal planning thing. and it was said multiple times that they didn’t think it was on purpose but they never even entertained the idea after anastasia learned how shitty he was behind her back. we didn’t see him receive any sort of punishment for lying about his injury despite it being a major conflict. nathan learns that he lied and does nothing and then it’s forgotten. 
i would have liked to see brady support anastasia more after aaron forcefully kissed her. i understand that they were on camera and she was probably doing it for anastasia sake but it left a bad taste in my mouth that brady sided with him (in a way) every time something came up between them. there should have been more consequences for aaron and it felt unresolved because it was brushed passed and said he transferred schools.
 

the ending felt rushed compared to the rest of it and the conclusion to the drama felt flat.

 the epilogue really ruined it for me too.
i dislike the pregnancy trope even in the epilogue (though ill put up with it sometimes, i usually skim it) but it especially rubbed me the wrong way in this book. she specifically said she wanted to adopt because she was adopted and then just accidentally got pregnant after the biggest success of her life and decided to keep it? it just felt strange. almost out of character in a way.
