Thank you to my #AuldLangSpine #ALSpine partner, @Erinreadsthebooks for recommending this one. It‘s been on my TBR for a while and this motivated me to move it to the top of the list.

This was a really good book. It was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my first Abby Jimenez book and I‘m so excited to start it.
I enjoyed this intimate look at the “peak of the storm“ of a couple's marriage set within the backdrop of an actual winter storm. It definitely has the atmosphere of time stopping a chance to pause and reflect, which they do with multiple flashbacks. I didnt mind the shifting in POV especially because the narrators changed for the audio. I liked and understood most of the subplots but maybe not Tripp's?
Okay, I liked this book overall. I liked the chopping and changing between Jess and Mal, and how it biased whom I had empathy or sympathy with. But the subplots were odd. I'm not sure they were really necessary?
Good ending too.
I missed a full Bingo by about 75 pages. 😬 There's always this month!
SoI did end up finishing it. I am pretty good at DNFing when I am bored but when it‘s a train wreck sometimes it‘s hard to look away 🤣
This book unironically highlights the harm of the idolization of biological children IMO. As someone with PCOS who can certainly related to the struggles Kristen experiences with her cycle I was actually kind of excited to see this kind of representation in a FMC. ⬇️
