Brought together under less-than-ideal circumstances, after spending an evening stranded but enjoying each other's company and conversation, Noelle and Sam go their separate ways. What follows is a series of serendipitous encounters that leave Noelle questioning whether fate is trying to bring them together or she should reunite with her ex-boyfriend. The serious side stories with her friends and family occasionally seemed to be taking up a lot of time, even darkening the mood. However, though somewhat predictable, the additional "coincidental meetings" between Noelle and Sam helped to lighten the mood and made for a fun, sweet story.

This book grew on and i’m by the end I really liked it. I was surprised by the ending but It brought everything full circle for the characters. I may consider re-reading it but wouldn’t every year.  Lots of wintery fluff in the beginning.

My expectations for this one were blown away! I really enjoyed the take on fate and the incorporation of the Chinese proverb of the red thread. The characters were so enjoyable (even though at times I wanted to shake them and scream "what are you doing?!"), and I loved seeing not only the relationships in this one grow, but also the individuals grow past their "flaws".
