This book is incredible. I really was not expecting to love it so much, especially because I've been drifting more and more away from young adult books recently. However, this book shocked me with how much I loved it. The characters were amazing, and watching the growth they all underwent and coming to understand them more and more as the story goes on was such a beautiful journey. I just finished this book and I already want to reread it, it's like I'm not ready to be done with it! The main character, Ryn, is struggling with an incredibly difficult loss, and she is trapped in an airport that's been shut down due to a snowstorm. I loved watching her journey and how developed and overcame. I absolutely loved her. The boy she meets, Xander, is just as incredible. He's goofy, sweet, and so so caring, and I loved him so deeply. Each of the other characters were also perfect! I loved Siri and her chaos, and I loved Troy and his brazenness/rudeness covering for awkwardness. Everyone underwent a journey over the course of this story, and everyone learned something, and we saw just enough of each character to understand where they were coming from and their story. Ryn, though, was absolutely amazing. Her journey of development and coming to terms with her grief was heart wrenchingly beautiful. Honestly, this book might become a yearly reread. I'm not sure yet. It had such a huge impact on me, much bigger than I thought it was going to! I would highly, highly recommend!
