Icebreaker
by A.L. Graziadei
Wow! The grip the novel had on me in the 2 days that I was reading was so intense. The main cast of characters was relatable with their different lives and struggles they faced throughout the narration of the story. Coller and Mikey are relatable with their anxieties and struggle with determining their future careers in college and Hockey. The diversity in the characters also shone through with vibrancy.
While this takes place in college, the main focus is on the NHL and Hockey drafting, which for me was something I did not know much about going into the story. However, I did not feel like I was drowning in the information I had to look up to understand. Graziadei did a wonderful job of describing what was going on in the hockey world without just telling readers what was going on, they truly 'showed' readers what it is like for these players to go through the process of drafting.
