Snowfall at Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs

1.0

I have never felt so relieved to finish a book. Jesus. I expected something tropey, funny, and cheesy: not high literature, but just a silly, good time. Instead I got casual racism (that entire subplot should never have existed), casual sexism (side-eying any man who says anything about biological clocks), awkward, stilted writing in a lot of places, and a general feeling that my brain was melting as I tried to finish this book. Let's not even talk about that last minute "plot twist." Also idk why a 10 year age gap is such a big deal when you're both working adults. Also, I never really felt that much of a connection between Sophie and Noah other than their desire to bone each other. In conclusion, do not recommend.
