A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK

"The most festive book you'll read this year."—Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

Three times the holiday magic. Three times the chaos.

As strangers and seatmates Maryam Aziz and Anna Gibson fly to Toronto over the holidays—Maryam to her sister’s impromptu wedding, and Anna to meet her boyfriend’s wealthy family for the first time—neither expect that severe turbulence will scare them into confessing their deepest hopes and fears to one another. At least they’ll never see each other again. And the love of Maryam’s life, Saif, wasn’t sitting two rows behind them hearing it all. Oops.

An emergency landing finds Anna, Saif, Maryam, and her sister’s entire bridal party snowbound at the quirky Snow Falls Inn in a picture-perfect town, where fate has Anna’s actor-crush filming a holiday romance. As Maryam finds the courage to open her heart to Saif, and Anna feels the magic of being snowbound with an unexpected new love—both women soon realize there’s no place they’d rather be for the holidays.

“This charming multicultural and multi-faith romance sparkles with an adorable cast of characters and a storyline that reads like a movie one would want to watch again and again.” —Library Journal (starred)

Great girl read

A little too long, but generally good message, but a little too predictable. Wouldn’t re- read.

Loved it

Great story and characters. Also provided some cross-cultural education. And now I want to live in this little town.

So heartwarming!

This was such a sweet holiday story of love, friendship, and family. Perfect read for the holiday season.

i want more!

Reading Uzma is like sailing to a dreamland on a lovely afternoon. Loved the characters and the representation of all the faiths. Learned a lot about Hanukkah and Christmas. I have read all your books and loved them all. Can't wait for your next book!

A Familiar Storyline

No surprises here. A light listen for the holiday season. The characters are as thin as the plot lines. I also found it hard to listen to the narrator’s different voices. I appreciate the multi-cultural inclusion though!

Cross cultural

Story is a little hokey, but loved that is showed people of different cultures getting along and finding similarities and community.

A lot of set up but overall cute!

Liked; inclusiveness, acceptance & accountability of characters.
Dislike: far fetched and a lot of set up

Cute!

Cute overall! There was an opportunity for a surprise lesbian reveal that I convinced myself was coming and it didn't. Solid predictable happy little holiday book!

Too cheesy and predictable for me

The whole book was so easy to predict and the romance between Anna and Josh felt so rushed and fake. There’s no way you can build a deep connection like that in a matter of days. Felt like a cheesy hallmark movie.

Warm and festive

A favorite new holiday listen. I enjoyed this enough that I may re-listen to it next year. I love the town’s setting, the snow, the characters and towns people. Including the three holidays is great fun and adds to the festivities while also sharing diverse cultural traditions.
