My cousins and I picked this for our January book club pick. I went into this pretty blind and it was an absolute delight!

THINGS I LOVED

•The “Chance” Meetings: Noelle and Sam meet due to a snowstorm that stops traffic and then go their separate ways. And then they continue to meet. I’ve never really been super into the “soulmates” trope but I loved this one. I loved each chance encounter these two had and how they were able to form a bond through all of these meetings.

•Sam and Noelle: Sam and Noelle were two fun main characters. They had great banter and openness with each other. I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop.

•Charlie and Theo: Charlie and Theo were phenomenal side characters. They were outstanding friends to Noelle and I really liked them.

Overall this was a great read. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

This is a closed door romance with minimal innuendo and moderate language.

Trigger Warnings: grief, depression, postpartum depression, death of a friend, death of a relative

This was a sweet, pure, romcom style novel that just leaves you feeling good. It wasn’t overly sugary and the characters weren’t perfect or unattainable, rather the story felt realistic and possible. The book covers broken hearts, loss of loved ones, and questioning how and when to go after what you want in life.

Not Louis’ best work, but it still builds a complete world with arresting characters and relatable struggles. The heroine is just a tad deluded for my taste (rich, I know).

This isn't like most romance books, you go on a different trip than normal which is refreshing. Some of the charecters really really suck, and these characters are living with real things. They're more flushed out than a stock charecter. It's not always a light read.
