Out on the Ice

Thank you to Carina Press and Netgalley for providing me with an arc for review!

If you know anything about me, you know that I am absolutely new to reading the romance genre. I couldn't resist wanting to read this book with the most adorable cover. This book absolutely surprised me with the conversations it had about bi erasure, found family, and writing positively about therapy!

This really is such a sweet romance. The conflicts are absolutely believable for the fleshed out characters Farmer has given us. Another thing I really enjoyed about this is that the romance and relationship aren't rushed and everything between them doesn't happen in a matter of weeks.

This book really was the perfect introduction to romance and if you like sports and sapphics this is for you!

I cannot believe that this is Kelly Farmer's debut novel because it is fabulous. I love Out On The Ice. Caro and Amy sizzle together. Amy is just such a multi-faceted character, never mind I love her flair and style. She is just so likeable an I am talking about “Just Amy”. I think her connection with Caro emphasized to herself who she is, but those of us on the outside can see it just fine.

Farmer tackles an intriguing topic that is debated heatedly in my area: how far out of the closet do you want to live? I find this such an interesting subject to handle and Farmer showcases both sides wonderfully. There are no easy answers and Farmer does not give any.

Am I giving the impression that this is a soapbox book? It is NOT!!! This is a romance and Farmer also brings the heat. Sometimes it is so hot the ice does kind of melt a little bit.

Out On The Ice is a great read and an even better happily ever after.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
