Snowflake Sweethearts by Carrie Turansky is a Christian contemporary fiction novel about Annie, a single mom returning to her hometown and Alex an old secret flame who needs a live-in caregiver for his grandmother.
I gave this book 2 out of 5 stars. It was pretty meh. The writing style was smooth and easy to read. It does have the occasional odd description but overall was comfortable and familiar. However, I found it extremely slow. I really had to slog my way through.
The characters were not really believable, nor particularly likeable or relatable. I never felt invested in their stories. Their faith felt shallow and thrown in without it seeming authentic or realistic.
The story line was slow moving with not much really happening. As for what did happen, much of it felt unrealistic (like every single guy she met being interested in her). Furthermore, it is supposed to be a Christmas story but the first 2/3 of the book happen before and during Thanksgiving. Overall it was quite disappointing.
I feel like the concept of this book and the skeleton of the story have real potential, but this didn’t rise up to it.
