Icebreaker by Hannah Grace
Did not finish book.
I don’t think I have ever truly hated or DNF’d a book. I’ve never contemplated even returning a book. (I couldn’t because it had been passed it’s return date)
And this is not to hate on the author I feel bad to have not liked this book. The massive hype and craze over Icebreaker has been its down fall in my opinion, for expectations we’re not at all met and I was left not even interested to see if this pair got together or not.
I don’t fantasize having a situationship where one pines more for the other. And the amount of sex in this book could have been great had it not been so fast, so cheesy or so commercially for me. It was written with the simplicity of a YA fiction, easy to read but with adult content where the characters weren’t fleshed out enough for me to care and relationships/feelings were rushed. There was no pining just immediate lust and trust (then mistrust then lust and more mistrust and most of the time I was like why???)
It felt sloppy and not relatable. Even a situationship in real life can have more than this weird back and forth between the two where I couldn’t even understand how one could fall for the other. Unfortunately I didn’t care enough to keep reading to even see where the unremarkable characters ended up.
DNF’d until someone can convince me otherwise.
