⭐⭐⭐ – Love the cover on this one!
I wanted to enjoy this one more than I did. I mean, a book about being trapped in a library during a snow store. Seemed right up this bibliophiles alley. Alas, I just never connected fully with the story or the characters. There are a lot of heavy topics (addiction, sickness, death, loss of parents, homelessness), but they are never given the weight such topics deserve. The same with the characters. They are all just kind of one dimensional. In fact, I think “one dimensional” sums up my overall feelings for this book. It had tons of potential, but just skated along the top and never delved deeper to flesh out the story or the characters.
