Hi Matt, 

Having read Icebreaker myself - it is definitely "spicy" and then some. I work in a high school library and I'm not so confident that I would include it in our collection. I would say it is best suited for 18 years+, similar to what most online users say. Target even lists it for ages 21+. 

Below is a listing on the authors website for what the book contains: 

disordered eating

sexual content (consensual)

toxic friendships

mental health (anxiety and stress)

near death experience

death of a parent (past event, only discussed), cheating (past event, only discussed and not involving either main character)

alcohol use

explicit language


I hope this helps!

I keep reading the word "spicy" in the reviews but having recently ordered medium spicy at a Thai restaurant I recognize how subjective that can be.


Thanks,

Matt
