Icebreaker

By: A.L. Graziadei

Narrated by: Tom Picasso

A. L. Graziadei's Icebreaker is an irresistible YA debut about two hockey players fighting to be the best - and the romance that catches them by surprise along the way.

Seventeen-year-old Mickey James III is a college freshman, a brother to five sisters, and a hockey legacy. With a father and a grandfather who have gone down in NHL history, Mickey is almost guaranteed the league's top draft spot.

The only person standing in his way is Jaysen Caulfield, a contender for the number one spot and Mickey's infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) teammate. When rivalry turns to something more, Mickey will have to decide what he really wants and what he's willing to risk for it.

This is a story about falling in love, finding your team (on and off the ice), and choosing your own path.

I envy the relationship cauler and terzo have, and this book portrays depression better than anything ive ever read

college hockey rivals to boyfriends and mental health rep

I really enjoyed how genuine the characters felt. When Mickey was dealing with his mental health and feelings of inadequacy it was so believable. I also really enjoyed the team interactions!

Lovely

Bro the end has me screaming, they left us in the dark , like who won broooioo this was so good , I would listen to this 100k times

Icebreaker

I really love the writing. Even though I never really played sport to that extent in some ways, what Mikey was talking about spoke deep inside of me. I love the romance. It was cute and chaotic. And how the parents apologized to him at the end.
