Welcome to Litsy!

Is icebreaker a good book? I‘m into romance and #booktok books.

“What?” Umar and I asked in unison.
“That tonight, we don‘t stop dancing until the sun comes up.”
And that was exactly what we did.

overhyped

Way too spicy for my tastes, but it was a fun romance. Both main characters have depth, even within their friendships. It‘s only a little about ice skating and hockey, but just enough to be fun. Book # 7 in 2025

Audiobook hold finally came in. I loved The Goldfinch on audio and I couldn‘t wait to listen to this one.

While this is a short book, it was not a quick read in that it is dense. It reminded me of Ocean Vuong's writing.

Great book! Love Colleen Hoover!

This was cute, but I'm not surprised there was never a follow-up. (I'd probably read it if there was, though.) The characters are such YA cliches, not what I expect from Novik!

The art style took a little getting used to. I don't know the correct way to categorize it, but sometime the characters are gorgeously stylized, and then they're drawn much younger to express their emotions. It's effective, but also a bit creepy.

Brenna‘s the coach‘s daughter, which means she definitely shouldn‘t be attracted to, let alone date, the rival‘s captain, Jake. They fake date for an internship Brenna wants at a sports news station. How will her dad react when he finds out? Will she get the internship?

5⭐️ I really enjoyed this one. It‘s my fav of the series. It was funny & cute, but still had a good amount of spice. I liked both the MCs. Definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved Nam's take and illustration of this manga.
She drew a lot of the characters in such a way that mirrored how I imagined them during the original read of Rowell's book.

Just like when I read the book, I'm saddened to end the manga. I've enjoyed every variation of this whether it's in manga, like here, the audiobook or the actual book, I enjoy it every time 😍
