You know I love me some Elle Kennedy, but I’m almost disappointed I read The Dixon Rule first.
Gigi and Ryder are just perfect. Dare I even say they are *better* than Garrett and Hannah. (Slander, I know).
Their love story is just so sweet and wholesome and the fact that they don’t fight it or complicate it or waiver, even once, when they get together makes me believe in true love.
If you loved GG and The Deal, you will die when you see Daddy Graham in action here.

Absolutes guilty pleasure. Es war so cringe, dass es echt schon wieder lustig war. Wer ein Buch wie Icebreaker sucht ist hier genau richtig. Ehrlich gesagt besteht der Großteil des Buches einfach nur aus Sex bzw Gedanken rund um dieses Thema (fand ich auch irgendwann einfach nur noch nervig und sehr unrealistisch, selbst in wilden Collegejahren denkt doch kein Mensch so). Aber irgendwie hatte es trotzdem seinen Charme, war locker leicht und die Hauptcharaktere hatten tatsächlich mal Charakter. Zum Ende hin wurde es auch nochmal spannend und das hat das ganze für mich zu einem besseren Icebreaker gemacht. (Auch wenn es etwas abrupt geendet hat, ein zwei Sachen hätten ruhig noch passieren können)
Und wie alt bin ich bitte: habe vor 8 oder mehr Jahren The Deal gelesen und bin erstmal komplett ausgerastet, weil die Protagonistin aus The Graham Effect einfach die Tochter von den Protagonisten aus The Deal ist. Komme nicht klar 😭
Falls ihr also was locker leichtes mit viel Spice und ein klein wenig Handlung sucht, seid ihr hier genau richtig.

The begining is a little bit slow, the characters meet pretty early on but then proceed to live their separated lifes for like 30% of the book. Which I didn't really liked, especially because we spent that time either meeting a bunch of irrelevant side characters whose names I can't even remember, or talking about hockey Which I couldn't care less about.
Once Gigi and Ryder started to interact a bit more I started to be more invested, and once they actually hooked up I started really loving them!!! But the ending was a bit too much for me...
I will admit that Garrett calling Hannah Wellsy and seeing Beau DiLaurentis made me way too emotional 🥹
I will probably read the other book and I really hope that theres one for Becket and Will!!!
