The way people can disappear and no one notices is a frightening concept that this book explores. Out in the wild, a blizzard can, and will, change everything. This story challenges your idea of what is right and what is wrong. 

I liked the ending a lot, but the build-up was very slow—especially for such a short book. I started out disliking Bess, but the further I got, the more I felt for her. The characters were complicated and morally grey, which I always appreciate. 

Overall, this was a good read, but I felt like I needed just a little more.
