i hate the ai infiltrating this app but it just made me laugh by summarizing half the comments as “ken’s beach vs kaleb’s woods”

The little nerdy voice you do for Noah to kill any semblance of sexual tension this book is trying to go for is the best part of this book

Kaleb hating women because of his mom and being so aggressive with the mc is legit serial killer behavior

Having all the men be mostly shirtless in a book that largely takes place in winter is crazy

This could’ve been a sickass horror novel about getting stuck in the mountains with a psychotic sex cult made up of mc’s previously estranged relatives

The fact that there isn’t really a place in Colorado where you will be snowed in for more than, like, a few days, maybe a week, maybe, let alone SIX MONTHS makes it just seem like they were lying to her to keep her in the mountain mansion, which is in character.

i like how kaleb is just straight up evil. like thats such an interesting literary choice

5 minutes in and I think "Bike" or "Car" are going to be the only characters I like.

Hilariously I have a friend named Tiernan. I only found out about this book when we were in Barne’s and Noble and she was like “Olivia, there is a book in this aisle with my name in it and you will not fucking believe what it’s about.”

I got recommended this book, and went in completely blind. I genuinely thought I was reading a found family at first and that she was gonna find a cute boy on the mountain.

I was incorrect.

we should put Ben from November 9 and Kaleb into a boxing ring and just let them fight it out for the worst book boyfriend belt.

"She's technically 18 before anything truly unhinged happens." Truly a sentence of all time.

I’m sorry but her dad pushing her mom in the tire swing instead of her is insane and it has me giggling at 4:06 am 😂😂

The hallmark of a bad book is that it immediately made me imagine a better version of the same story. This could have easily been about an adult woman who could also be a mountain woman, or even a townie, but due to bad luck ends up in the mountains during winter, and has to stay in a cabin with three hunky mountain men. All the same sexy stuff could have happened but like, there was 0 need for her to be 17/18 and 0 need for anyone to be related at all.

The family's last name being Van der Berg is so funny to me bc that literally means "from the mountain" and like yea they are from the mountain thats crazy. That's Colleen Hoover level of naming

As an Idahoan who married into a family of wonderful, caring, NORMAL mountain men and women... My hatred for this book is personal and violent. Like actually what the fuck, Penelope?
