Kissing Snowflakes (Paperback)

by Abby Sher (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The picturesque montain ski lodge is the perfect place to spend winter break...if you have a boyfriend! Otherwise, that cozy leather couch in front of the crackling fire looks a lot less inviting. Good thing that there are lots of cute, blond, sweater-wearing ski instructors around to choose from....

This fun, sweet tale of holiday romance on the slopes is the perfect wintertime read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, simple and fun., December 26, 2007

Kissing Snowflakes was an enjoyable winter romance read for teen girls. It's quick to get through and something that would be fun to read on a cold winter day with a cup of hot cocoa. I look forward to reading more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, October 30, 2007

By	A. Stone "avid reader" (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful book. Written in first person narrative, it is the story of 15-year-old Samantha's winter break with her brother, father, and brand new step mom. Through fantastic inner monologue, we join Sam in dealing with resentment of her new family situation, social awkwardness, first real kiss, and decisions about drinking and sex.

I'm an adult with no children and read young adult fiction regularly. The tone of the book is straightforward, not at all cutesy, patronizing, or shallow. kissing snowflakes is not oversimplified or heavy-handed; it is complex and raw but still lighthearted and fun, like every young woman I know...especially the one I carry with me every day.

KISSING SNOWFLAKES is a very quick and easy read. It is sure to entertain any reader.

After her father marries a bubbly new wife, Samantha finds herself dragged to Vermont for winter break. As if her father's new marriage weren't enough to deal with, there was also the fact that she couldn't ski at all. So when she decides to take lessons one day, it doesn't hurt that her instructor, Drew, is a major hottie. And not only that, but he seems to have a special interest in Sam.

But suddenly Drew doesn't seem so interested in Sam anymore. And what's with that guy Eric who seems to keep showing up?

This novel is a very good read. The reader is taken to a world of winter wonderlands and holiday festivities. It's sure to leave all readers satisfied.
