Fourth Laura Wood book I’ve read, fourth one I’ve absolutely loved. I don’t know what it is about her writing style but it’s so easy to read whilst still being absolutely beautiful.
Definitely one of my absolute favourite authors

Another stunning read from Laura Wood - her writing never ceases to blow me away, beautiful, captivating and honest. This book talks about mental health, diversity in theatre, race representation in theatre and dreams/goals.
Laura Wood always has a key theme running through her novels, A Snowfall of Silver’s was all about following your dream and working out what exactly that dream is. This book left me feeling inspired to really work towards a life where I am following in Freya’s footsteps of jumping on opportunities and living the best version of my life. This is what I love most about Laura’s books, they leave me wanting to be a better person.
The atmosphere Laura creates in this book is beautiful, snowy landscapes, Abbey ruins, cosy moments and fun and bustling parties. There is such a range, which makes this book feel so fast and compelling, whilst really stripping the story down to this one character’s journey. I could just keep reading Laura Wood books on repeat, she is a truly stunning writer.

When I say sexual assault, the scene is brief in nature and features one male character attempting to kiss our MC without her consent - no removal of clothing takes place. The MC is quick to fend off the assault. The attacker claims
