Another stunning read from Laura Wood - her writing never ceases to blow me away, beautiful, captivating and honest. This book talks about mental health, diversity in theatre, race representation in theatre and dreams/goals. 

Laura Wood always has a key theme running through her novels, A Snowfall of Silver’s was all about following your dream and working out what exactly that dream is. This book left me feeling inspired to really work towards a life where I am following in Freya’s footsteps of jumping on opportunities and living the best version of my life. This is what I love most about Laura’s books, they leave me wanting to be a better person. 

The atmosphere Laura creates in this book is beautiful, snowy landscapes, Abbey ruins, cosy moments and fun and bustling parties. There is such a range, which makes this book feel so fast and compelling, whilst really stripping the story down to this one character’s journey. I could just keep reading Laura Wood books on repeat, she is a truly stunning writer.
