The setting of this story is cute: a major blizzard shuts down the Denver airport on New Years Eve, trapping main character Ryn long enough to face the trauma of her best friend's death. Love interest Xander has cute ideas to push her out of her comfort zone, and I really liked him... I wish Ryn has been a bit less self-involved so we could get to know him more. I liked their romance enough that I was sad to reach the end of the book. It's completely right that the book ends when the storm does, but I wasn't quite ready to leave the two.
