It was supposed to be just an evening out for a reunion at her college, but somehow on the way home, Noelle gets stranded on the highway in an unexpected blizzard. Her phone charger isn’t working and she has no food or water, but with traffic snarled she could be stuck for hours.
A knock on the window reveals a handsome stranger, Sam, who is also stuck in the traffic. Sensing Noelle’s distress, he offers her shelter in his car, where she can charge her phone and be a little more comfortable. While of course, getting in a stranger’s car seems crazy, Noelle needs her phone and after an emotional night, could use some companionship.
The two spend eight hours in the car, talking, sharing, napping…and then finally the snow stops and the road clears. They plan to head their own way—Noelle is going back to her house and Sam is headed to the airport to fly back to America. They don’t trade contact info, so Noelle figures she’ll never see this handsome man again.
But somehow, Sam keeps popping up in unexpected places, and they find themselves connected in multiple ways. Noelle doesn’t know what to do, because while it seems as if Sam ultimately keeps leaving, something else seems to keep bringing him back. Should she get on with her life without him?
I really enjoyed this book and parts made me so emotional. I did think it dragged a bit at times—the book seemed to come alive when Sam and Noelle were together more than anything—but it really made me think, and I’m a sucker for this type of story. I’m happy to add Sam to my list of book boyfriends, that's for sure!!
