oh my god everyone this is not a drill! I am a converted romance reader it’s the end for me!!!
in separate unrelated news, this is definitely not a christmas novel lol. still super cute and AMAZING, but false advertising there lololol
all it takes is eight perfect hours for someone to meet their soulmate, especially if it’s on a highway stuck in a blizzard with no phone charger kind of day. at least that’s how it goes with sam and noelle (what a perfect name wow) - until they meet again … and again … and again. and to me, that certainly sounds like fate intervening.
I’m definitely not a meet cute fan, but I AM a firm believer in soulmates and wow did this book touch on that. it seriously brought tears to my eyes at how special noelle and sam are, and it gives me a lot of hope for finding myself and my future.
the writing was beautiful, sassy, and so relatable - I found myself really connecting to noelle on her balance between finding who you were meant to be and playing it safe of who you already are. it was really so much more than a romance.
I would read this over and over again, and I cannot wait to discuss this one with my book club :’)
