As Simple as Snow
As Simple as Snow | Gregory Galloway
2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Anna—who prefers to be called Anastasia—is a spooky and complicated high school girl with a penchant for riddles, Houdini tricks, and ghost stories. She is unlike anyone the narrator has ever known, and they make an unlikely, though happy, pair. Then Anna disappears, leaving behind only a dress near a hole in the frozen river, and a string of unanswered questions. Desperate to find out what happened the narrator begins to reconstruct the past five months. And soon the fragments of curious events, intimate conversations, secrets, letters—and the anonymous messages that continue to arrive—coalesce into haunting and surprising revelations that may implicate friends, relatives, and even Anna herself.

I just finished reading As Simple as Snow this morning. The story was similar to John Green's Papertowns in many ways--but written before with a much different ending--and I absolutely loved all the book references! On the Road and Ethan Frome and The Worst Journey in the World were just a few of the books that kept returning in their conversations. A pretty good book, really.

That's the point of it, to have those connections, as painful as they are, as much worry as they might cause; they give back in strength and comfort and joy, believe it or not, and the more connections you make, the happier you are, the more point there is to getting up and getting through the day.
