If I’m going to use one word to describe this one, it would be CUTE.
During a freak spring snow storm, Noelle gets stuck on the motorway with dozens of others. She starts to panic when her phone dies and she isn’t able to reach her mom. That is until the handsome car neighbour offers her the opportunity to charge her phone in his car. Is that weird? Or just she just go with it. Well she goes for it, and guess what, spends 8 perfect hours with this stranger that she’ll never see again. Or will she? Kidding, she totally sees him again, and again, and again. What are you trying tell her universe??
I found the book a bit slow going, but the overall story I liked. I’m glad that things happened they way they did. The supporting characters were all perfect, but I’ve said it before that I like my romancy books to have steam, this one had nothing, not even closed door. There’s also a few trigger warnings, death of friend, anxiety, sick parent, postpartum depression, so be warned.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
