Hearts on Thin Ice

1/5

Honestly? I'm disgusted. Well, maybe “disgusted” is too strong a word, but I hated it.

The writing was cringe and awful. The dialogue was forced, especially the one during their first time together. It was just awful. The character development seemed forced, just to be there, but the characters weren't driven by anything, really. The grief and ptsd weren't well written and explored. The characters were immature, childish, and boring.

The author tried to do too much and too little simultaneously. There were so many sideplots that went nowhere, and the revelations later that had no basis in the story earlier. Oh, so Alyssa called the school. And? Where did it come from? There was nothing suggesting that she would do that. At all. ALSO, I think that if Nick actually painted his best friends who died, THAT would be a good character development. Because that would show that he's moving on, but celebrates their lives and while he misses them, he decided to live. Because they couldn't.

I just hated this book so much. Seriosyly, a chicken and baked potatoes? I should have dnfed it at page 1.
