callmenora 's review for:
Icebreaker
by Hannah Grace
3.5/5 - this book started out perfect and progressively ruined itself. at first i couldn’t put it down and i was so happy to finally have a 5 star read again BUT NO IT JUST HAD TO DRAG AND DRAG AND DRAG!!!!!! I’M MAD :(
1- WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO GET PREGNANT AND MARRY ETCETC, IT’S SO CLICHÉ AND WAS UNCALLED FOR IN THIS STORYLINE
2- THE BOOK IS TOOOOO LONG BUT SOMEHOW THE ENDING FEELS SO RUSHED?? SHE JUST GOES AND BECOMES A SOLO SKATER AND WINS THE GOLD AT OLYMPICS???? WHAT
3- i wish it focused more on figure skating… there are only a handful of books where the mc is a figure skater so i was looking forward to be in that competitive world, get to know other figure skaters she’s competing against but sadly figure skating parts are not in detail
4-the uber scene? i don’t understand the logistics, while i was reading that part and trying to imagine the scenario, it just made 0 sense. if stass is on nate’s lap because there’s nowhere else to sit, how come no one else is sitting on the back with them? eh i don’t know
the last topic i want to touch on is, there are 2 versions of this book:
one with a muslim character called sabrina (brin) and one with a red headed white non muslim character called lola, they’re both the same characters. i was switching between audiobook and reading (mostly read and my book had the sabrina version) and i was so confused who lola was so i thought it must be a nickname for sabrina and i missed the context or something. i saw some people were mad that sabrina (muslim version of the character) was partying and drinking, but i live in an islamic country and most muslim people i know do drink and party so that’s not a mistake on the author’s part.
that’s all, that’s the review, i want to sleep after reading that ending even though it’s only 3pm, bye bye
