Icebreaker

Product Information

A competitive figure skater since she was five years old, a full college scholarship thanks to her place on the Maple Hills skating team, and a schedule that would make even the most driven person weep, Stassie comes to win. Overall, strong mixed feelings about this one. I really wanted and tried to like it, more so because it is a debut novel, and it is an #OwnVoices story. But I expected a lot more maturity in the writing, which may come with more writing experience. Essentially, it was a typical enemy-to-lovers romance trope with the only difference being in the queer identities of the characters. I might also be the wrong audience for this because as I said, I hate the NA genre and would never have requested this had I known about how many physical-lust references there were in the content. ( Something I would expect in romance books but definitely not in YA fiction.) Give me Aristotle and Dante any day! Ice Breakers! How To Get Any Prospect To Beg You For A Presentation (Four Core Skills Series for Network Marketing Book 2) 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.

I received an ARC from Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. There is no right or wrong way to respond to an icebreaker question. But we suggest keeping it straight to the point and on the shorter end. You don't want to have long winded answers that might lose your audience's attention. Where does the term icebreaker originate from? 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. While it's great to start with fun and easy-going questions, don't shy away from occasionally delving deeper. After some lighter topics, a question like "What's a book or movie that changed your perspective?" can spark meaningful discussions and insights into participants' values or beliefs. Facilitate ParticipationWhen someone shares, listen intently and, if appropriate, offer a brief comment or a follow-up question. This shows that you value their input and are genuinely interested in getting to know them. Responses like "That's fascinating, how did you feel about that?" can encourage even more engagement.

The baffling undervaluement of women in sports. (Shout out to the amazing sibling relationships. I loved them so much.) I read Icebreaker in a weekend when I wasn’t feeling great, and this story was the perfect distraction. I snuggled up on the couch, and just read and smiled, and read and swooned, and got teary eyes at the end. I blame my cold 😉. Icebreaker is a stunning debut that I would highly recommend to everyone out there. The book itself is short and very easy to read. From the writing to characterization- everything is done well. My only complain would be about the writing. It could have been better.

So many books have been (or will be!) getting the movie/TV treatment (see: The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi or the Sweet Magnolia series by Sherryl Woods). Play casting director with your book club and come up with a dream cast for a recent read! You can do this one of two ways: have everyone cast all their characters and share or go around in the circle and have each person cast a character one by one. The second method is more challenging as you’ll have to take other people’s casting decisions into consideration. Two Read, One DNF 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. Sharing our hopes, dreams, wishes and desires helps us to understand each other and form deeper relationships. These icebreaker questions are best suited to teams who know each other on a basic level but want to take their workplace relations one step further. We've even thrown in some weird icebreaker questions to make things interesting! Next to finding friends and love there was also a bit of working out strong expectations parents can have on you and your future.
