A young adult story about teens trapped in a snowstorm. The complex teens are great representations of different personalities. I loved the sibling relationship between Sam and her little brother Stu. Lily, the smart girl is dating Stu. Gavin and Brittany are popular kids in the school. I loved Hunter with his Texas drawl and survival knowledge. Sam is dreading senior ski weekend and having to watch after her brother because of his back problems and past injuries. Brittany is the one you love to hate with her annoying preachings. The writing was great at building the teen characters as similar yet so different. The character development does take quite a while due to the number of characters. But the plot quickens about halfway through the book as they get stranded on a snowy road and try to go for help. The dog in the story Champion is my second favorite character. If you can imagine six teens trekking through a blizzard, then you know all the things that can go wrong. The story deals with long-term injuries, religion, sexual promiscuity, and eating disorders. Since we live in Colorado, I found the survival aspects interesting and kept googling to see if it would work. And my kids won’t be going on any ski weekends by themselves for a long time. I listened to this book and the narrator Katie Schorr is perfect.
