There are definitely some aspects that don’t work very well, a lot of the decisions made are frustrating, our main character has literally NO self confidence or backbone, it’s repetitive, and I do think the ending could have been better but! I didn’t hate it so we’re counting that as a win, babeyyyy!!!!! 

If the middle hadn’t lulled so much, this probably would have been a 4 star for me. I’m actually a little surprised this worked for me as well as it did but that could be because it’s kind of reminiscent of something I’ve seen/read before but I can’t place it. But I loved the setting, I’m always a sucker for winter weather in books. The inherent danger from the blizzard itself and the isolation of it all 😙🤌🏻 chef kiss! And the flashbacks to the pandemic/lockdown were believable, didn’t feel overdone at all.

okay, real talk now. HOW did Miss Unnamed NOT kill her husband??? She should have killed him. He wasn’t shit and deserved a worse death. He was so shitty and was raised by shitty people (dead momma included, idgaf). That father-in-law should have been made to severely suffered. I have never immediately hated a fictional man so fast. Oh and that sheriff sucked ass, dick, AND balls too. The police were a joke, all the way til the very end. Suggesting she forgive the father-in-law!!! Ridiculous. I was killing everyone with my mind the entire time.


^ me being evil, my bad (it will happen again)
