nikiryther 's review for:
Fallen Snow
by Jolie Vines
This story will stay with me. ❤️
Oh man. This story was just pure heartbreak and love. There’s a Japanese art called Kintsugi, which is the art of repairing damaged pottery with gold infused lacquer. Philosophically, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. This book was like that. The Hero, Leo, and the Heroine, Viola, are both so incredibly broken, literally in Viola’s case. They each help the other heal into something, soneONE, better by embracing the difficulties they’ve gone through and using those as lessons to move on.
There were so many wonderful things about this story (aside from my name being used as Viola’s snowboarding friend!) that I just can’t easily get over it. I’ll be thinking about it for days, remembering the wisdom and fatherly strength Gordain gave to Leo, the wonderful way Viola’s family embraced and supported her... I think I could talk about this book for hours. Just, read it. You won’t regret it.
