Fun non-spicy romance
I added The Secret of Snow to my TBR back in August of 2021. It sounded like a cozy, but not romance-forward holiday read. And it kind of is. But don’t be fooled; it’s not really a holiday story, since most of it takes place after the New Year. The book starts before Christmas and ends in March.
There were a few times after I started reading that I was tempted to DNF the book. Why? Because the pacing felt a tad slow. And Sonny had a major chip on her shoulder, which really made me not like her. But I stuck with it, and I’m glad I did. As the story progresses, Sonny shows some character growth and begins to deal with the guilt that she had carried for over 30 years.
I enjoyed the little mystery that was in the middle of the story, though I knew exactly who was behind it all. It was a bit surprising that none of the characters caught on as quickly.
Overall, The Secret of Snow is a story about grief and healing, about letting go of guilt and trying to live in the present.

Thankfully, this is a short read. All the strife in the story would be solved easily by having honest conversations — Madison and Addie, with their differences, especially Addie's attitude; Madison and Gavin, about what happened all those years ago.
