Hearts on Thin Ice follows Nick Sorenson who is battling immense guilt and grief after losing his teammates/ best friends in a plane crash. His coach, concerned with Nick’s well being, tasks him to fix up his living situation and get into therapy. This is where interior designer Alyssa Compton comes into the picture; after getting hired by Nick to fix his apartment, the two of them grow to enjoy each other's company.


I liked that we got to see how Nick is dealing with the loss of his friends and learning how to move on; while Alyssa is dealing with a boss she can’t stand and the dreams of opening up her own firm. Although, some of the dialogue and chapters were hard to read because they felt quite unnatural.


There wasn’t a whole lot of hockey, but it was a rom-com that seemed to have a heavy focus on grief and big life changes.


Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
