I love everything about this book. I love the stranded airport situation. The characters, the plot the pacing, it all just fits so perfectly into a beautiful story about moving through grief.

I really enjoyed this book. A snowstorm strands two individuals at an airport at difficult times in their life. They let go, learned from each other and dealt with their individual issues. I just really enjoyed this book I am happy I picked it up.

Very interesting plot and all, I just couldn’t get behind the romance. And that’s certainly a me problem nothing with the author or the book. I did like the plot just easing a fan of how it actually played out. Toxic friendship much?

Wanna hear something crazy? I ended up really enjoying this book. Such a nice surprise considering I expected to be bored by the “stranded in an airport” trope. I should have known the “grieving your dead best friend” plot would absolutely demolish me. Also main character’s name is Ryn? Yeah, I ate this up.

DNF at page 142. I kind of felt guilty not finishing this book but it was dragging along too much. There were some funny parts so I like that. I didn’t like how flat the characters felt and how nothing was really going on. I just read some other 1 star reviews and I’m glad I didn’t finish reading this book. YIKES.

I really devoured this book. In one sitting, in fact. I liked it far more than I was expecting to. Really fast paced and I loved the back and forth between the past and present. Many moments made me laugh out loud and many more had me wiping tears. Lovely, special read.
