I picked this book up on a complete whim. I started reading the first few pages and was hooked. It was an easy read and I absolutely loved it from start to finish. The struggles Jess had weren't related to the fact that she was a city girl, but due to a car accident leaving her with a physical disability and finding ways to overcome and problem solve those issues. Throughout the entire time she fights the harsh Canadian winter in creative and smart ways and clinging on to her happy, and not so happy, memories of her parents and close friends. The emotion was raw and you felt as though you were fighting alongside with her the entire time.
