First Man On Ice

Had a blast with Cecelia Storm's book - it was a roller coaster of laughs, intrigue, romance, heartache, and a dash of spice. Toby's character was more than just your typical himbo - he was endearing in all his imperfect glory. And Owen...seeing him through Toby's perspective was something else.

Owen isn't just a sports nerd. Catching him in his private moments of triumph really tugged at my heartstrings. He wasn't the nicest to Toby on his podcast, but instead of holding a grudge, Toby wanted Owen to like him. This led them on an adventure filled with lists.

The side characters weren't left out either. Toby's coach, although a minor character, had me in stitches! I'm hoping Shep and Maddox get their own tales too. There's this mystery about why Maddox distanced himself from the group that I'm dying to solve!

This book kept me up way past my bedtime but every word was worth the sleepless night! At one point, I had to pause reading because I was so anxious about what would happen next during the debate scene.

Thanks to GRR for the ARC - this is just my two cents!
