Book: 14/52
Icrebreaker - Hannah Grace
My Rating: 1/5.
This was the second book of the three that I got from my bestie while she travelled from JFK (US of A) to India last month. Not sure what made her buy this one, as it turns out to be a teenager’s Fifty Shades of Grey in the worst possible, grossest way possible. I mean I have read erotic novels but this one takes it to next level (may be we can call it proper porn) by making the sex scene at times like 4-5 pages long. WHOA! On the other hand, it's a very simple Rich guy meets poor girl while ice skating, as one of the two rinks where they practice is vandalised by some other teenager, and they fall for each other immediately. Before that, the same girl is going around with her Figure Skating partner and one more dude as well. Books like these are some kind of guilty pleasure for my kinda people who read a lot of classics which take a lot of toll on my fragile heart and mind (wait for the upcoming post on War & Peace). And writers like Hannah keep it simple for themselves by making all their characters rich so there is technically no struggle for anyone barring broken down family and too rich to care about family kind of guys and all that crap. So if you haven’t read this one or anyone from this trilogy (I swore to keep away from), you aren't missing anything in life. The only thing that kept me going in this book was the mention of Skating by the female lead as she vows to compete in the Olympics figure skating (go figure), as I was a District-level skater back in the day (quads).
If you have read this by any chance, do let me know your thoughts, but if you are a fan of the book or writer, please forgive me, as it wasn't my cup of tea.
