Icebreaker by Hannah Grace
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

So fucking boring. Like at what point does enough become enough?
The dialogue is cheesy. It's cringe. And forgive me, I don't mean this in a bad way or in a conservative way but.... this book felt too performative. The author tried to hard. It's not fun to read like at all.
Nate and Stassie also felt cartoonish. In fact, the entire cast felt cartoonish. Like... what are we doing here?
Also, I find it very hard to believe that collegiate competitive sport allows the athletes this much free time. Why is there a party every other chapter????

A little too corny and a little too dramatic but nothing tooooo extreme.... Well, let me not lie.
Much better than the 2nd book though.

Usually, the second book in a series is the better one simply because there's already a foundation set and everything but like... this book was worse. Like... WAY worse

I absolutely loved it. Loved it loved it loved it. I think Katherine Center might be one of my favorite authors now.
Her writing style just flows naturally. The pacing, the dialogue, the plot, everything. Her characters always just have so much chemistry with each other that it practically oozes off the pages.
HE DID THE HANDS IN POCKETS KISS FOR HER 🥹🥹🥹🥹
I loved Emma. I thought she was witty and super funny. I don't know how to explain it but I just love her character. She's just so fucking charming and was literally a breath of fresh air page after page.
Charlie... He's like an asshole but like in a good way. If he was a real person, I know he would be insufferable and really fucking annoying and I would probably hate him but at the same time, I can't help but feel that he would be my favorite person too. Like I feel like we would get along really well, I don't know... Just a funny guy.

So so cute especially that epilogue 🥺🥺☹️☹️
There's just something so feel good about a person who's been dealt the short end of the stick all her life to finally get her happy ending.

Couldn't be a five cause I really don't think this book had a plot outside of "Moving to new place and growing as a person"
Don't understand why it's called The Lost Husband when Danny wasn't even that central to this particular story. Like yes, he was mentioned and of course his death was a major event in their lives that changed them but I still don't understand why the book is titled that.
She wasn't even necessarily looking for him or checking for him like that to be honest. I don't know but I think him blowing through their savings and leaving her with two kids and a house she couldn't afford kind of desensitized her from... him... I don't know what I'm trying to say but I think she felt bitter towards him in a way even if she never expressed it.
O'Connor was cool. Loved the relationship he fostered with her kids.
Loved their dynamic, O'Connor and Libby. I don't know his first name. I know they mentioned it but I don't remember it.
Jean, my hero. Sunshine, my tethered. Russ, my grandpa!

It was good. I think the smut was well written though oftentimes, I was confused as to where they were... Idk.. maybe it was just me not fully reading the setting.
Chase and Gigi need to be better communicators. They always solve everything with sex and it's just... like OK!
I think the stalker plot is okay. Could definitely be better but I don't know. They just always kind of put it to the side.
I see why men like Chase are enticing... Extremely smart, wealthy and good-looking. It just seems like he has terrible anger issues and unsolved trauma with possessiveness and jealousy... It's off-putting
