4.0

This book requires some serious suspension of disbelief regarding survival in blizzards, but otherwise is a well composed and satisfying thriller. The multiple viewpoints were effective and balanced, and the red herrings weren't egregious. I always appreciate when friendship between girls/women is highlighted as a strength, and this story had some great moments there.
