Review

Ammy has had enough of relationships in her family. She is heading out to her father's second marriage without her mother's permission or blessing. Taking the train, ignoring the passengers around her seemed like the perfect plan until Noah claims the seat next to her. Noah is on a quick trip, with a bouquet in hand, to surprise his ex-girlfriend and win her back. Ammy and Noah's world becomes entwined when the train stops on the tracks during a snowstorm. As they both are desperate to get to their destination they decide to leave the train and find the bus stop. In a 24-hour period, where the weather gets worse, their travel decisions take wrong turns and they must depend on strangers to assist them, the romance of life comes crashing in. As they share pieces of their lives while stranded, an unexpected twist in their family circles jeopardize that anticipated future. A satisfying, yet realistic romance that has a pesky snowstorm thrown in.

Overall Book Score: very good
