Out on the Ice by Kelly Farmer
3.25
This book lingered on my TBR for years until the publisher granted me access to an ARC of the audiobook. I’m glad that was what finally made me pick it up. Out on the Ice isn’t your traditional romance—it dives into some real issues, like the psychological repercussions of being outed and the trauma of growing up queer with a very religious upbringing. The story also highlights how beneficial therapy can be in helping to heal from that trauma, as well as the hidden wounds some of us still carry.
Beyond the romance, this book is about finding the right partner—someone who supports you during the highs and lows, roots for you, and inspires you to be the best version of yourself. It also touches on the importance of having safe spaces where people can be themselves. While it may not be what everyone expects in a romance, I think it works for what it sets out to do.
Out on the Ice may not be a book that lingers in my memory for long, but I did enjoy reading it.
