No le doy cinco estrellas porque tiene un final abierto y no me gustó que se dejara en el aire algo que básicamente se venía mencionando desde la página uno, como que entiendo porqué se dejó en el aire pero igual no me gusta 🤷🏻‍♀️

Considering that the author belongs to the LGBTQIA+ community, the representation in this book is excellent. They have clearly used their personal experience to show the insecurities and the social judgement faced by this community, regardless of whether they are famous or unknown.The last thing either is counting on is their rivalry turning into something else, something far more serious and with longer-term potential. But can they be together if both want to be #1? And is that dream what both want? I was expecting a combination of “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” and “Beartown”, but this book turned out to be flat. The characters are quite unidimensional with hardly any complexity despite so much potential in the plot to introduce layers to their nature. Even within the uncommon representation lay a lot of clichéd thoughts. There’s no emotional intensity in the content despite the nature of the content. I loved getting to see him blossom from the person he was at the start - insecure, passive, too afraid and weighed down by expectations to seek help or open up to people - to the person he becomes at the end: so much more confident and purposeful, aware of what he wants and willing to try and get it. My biggest grouse: This book isn’t YA in any way except for the age of the protagonists!!! It is almost NA – New Adult – in its writing style. This is a genre I consciously avoid because I hate superfluous sex scenes in books. And this book has quite a few. I wish it had been tagged appropriately. It feels like it's written for hormonal teenagers, which might be partly valid, but it is not suitable for the younger members of the YA reader segment. Hannah Grace is an English self-labeled “fluffy comfort book” author, writing predominantly new adult and contemporary romance from her home in Manchester, England. When she’s not describing everyone’s eyes ten-thousand times a chapter, accidentally giving multiple characters the same name, or using English sayings that no one understands in her American books, you can find her hanging out with her husband and two dogs, Pig and Bear.

But there is so much more depth to this than the average college romance. This book will make you think, which I love, and it does it without telling you what it wants you to think, which I really love, but in the end I think it missed a few connections that were needed to tie the whole thing together and elevate this from good to excellent. These are icebreakers. You’re not supposed to break the ice, you’re just supposed to coat your voice with as many layers of confidence as possible so that they don’t hear your voice shake when it’s your turn to speak. Idiot.”Why: Not only does this help the group get to know each other better and swiftly reduce stress levels, but it also sparks immediate interaction – as the group comes together to root out the red herrings. 3. Three Things (5-10 mins) That last point is crucial, particularly when the activity precedes a problem-solving or brainstorming meeting. Icebreakers foster what workplace experts call psychological safety In other words, they create an atmosphere in which colleagues feel free to speak up, to question, contribute and criticize – without fear of censure. Despite the lingering questions -- not to mention the fact that I spent half the book all tensed up with worry over the MC's state of mind due to the extremely effective depiction of clinical depression and anxiety -- I would still give it all four stars up to this point. Con todo, el libro está catalogado como romance (al menos donde yo lo conseguí), así que las escenas de James y Jaycen son muy buenas, eso sí, al ser rivales, su relación no va más allá de provocaciones hasta la segunda mitad del libro, pero antes de eso podemos ver ese «odio sexual» que se tienen. Supongo que a quienes les guste el romance intenso, este libro no les va a encantar, aquí los protagonistas nunca llegan a ser codependientes, este es un libro más del tipo amor libre que amor asfixiante y por eso a mí me gustó tanto. Ya he leído demasiado sobre parejas que se mueren sin el otro y ya me fastidiaron, básicamente sabes que o acaban juntos o acaban muertos (? aquí no puedes anticiparte a nada, que los protagonistas sean tan independientes hace que sea difícil adivinar cómo va acabar su historia de amor o qué decisiones van a tomar.

Maple Hills Series by Hannah Grace - Goodreads

I can’t sit here and tell him I’m deeply depressed when I have so much more than him. I’m white. Hetero-passing. From a rich family."My thanks to RB Media, Recorded Books, and NetGalley for the ALC of “Icebreaker”. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the audiobook. Why: This is a classic team-building exercise for groups of three to 10 employees who have met or interacted before. It’s a fun way for teams to get closer and bond more. 7. 10 Things in Common (20 mins) The mental health discussion and how that's twisted and magnified by this high-profile, high-pressure sports life This is the sort of book you know you’re going to love right away. The writing was so breezy and easy to read. A genuinely wonderful time. When I read romances, I always look for a good combination of fun and lighthearted, and serious and thought-provoking. Icebreaker was the perfect mix. It had all the good rivals-to-lovers action you could wish for, and excellent representation of mental illness. I particularly appreciated the descriptions of dissociation and depression. I liked how several characters openly discussed their mental illnesses and helped each other cope.

the romance was the second main part of the story and yet it was somehow barely there? i can not explain and i won't the baby gays and bis were really cute, i did enjoy reading about them. the rest of the cast was also cute. overall this was a bunch of really polite boys. they literally played a game that was like "for every mean thing you say about the other person, you have to say something nice" and then proceeded to say things like "you smell bad" and "you have beautiful eyes" - truly a case of boys will be boys, in the non-toxic way it's supposed to be The way he fell not only in love with his rival, he also realized how amazing and important friends can be, even if you have a great family.i also wasn't a fan of the abrupt ending... like, you can't just end it right there, author!! i need to know the outcome of one of the big plotlines of the book omg! that left me a bit unsatisfied, especially because the book ended right there. i think if the author had been vague about it earlier in the book and then we got a flash-forward epilogue, i would've enjoyed the book a bit more, but nope. that unfortunately didn't happen.
