Reach for this book when your teenager is looking for a cozy, lighthearted escape that captures the messy and magical feelings of first love during the holidays.

The book follows three interconnected stories of teenagers stranded in a massive Christmas Eve snowstorm, exploring themes of friendship, romantic spark, and finding belonging in unexpected places.

It is a wonderful pick for a snowy weekend or a holiday break, offering a comforting reminder that even when things go wrong (like being stuck on a train or in a Waffle House), they can lead to exactly what you need.
