A cute mystery set in a hotel in the snow. Money and a jewel thief and maybe a kid napping. All with dueling love interests.

This book was so freaking cute! I love Sophie, Tristan, Amy, Gretchen, Ben and so many more of these characters! What a quirky and wonderful cast of personalities set against the backdrop of an old, elegant hotel nestled in the mountains. If you enjoyed the Ruby Red and/or Dream trilogy, you will live this fun, quick read.

This is a book I requested in my flurry of trying to read as many holiday reads before the holidays as I could take. I didn't get to this one but since it's set up to New Year's Eve and a bit beyond it still works. Also this is translated YA, which I don't see all that often. (Apparently some know the author from a time travel historical romance series, this seems more contemporary.)⤵️

ReadingEnvy Overall a feel-good read set in a Swiss mountain luxury hotel, with balls and snowstorms and afternoon tea. Sophie is an intern who moves between roles as chambermaid, spa receptionist, childcare, and other duties as assigned. She stumbles into awkward situations like money laundering, jewel heists, kidnapping, and more.

It comes out at the end of January from henry holt books - I had a copy through Edelweiss.

A friend mentioned that this book gave her YA Vicki Bliss vibes, so that immediately moved it to the top of my list. So far, it's pretty delightful.
