From the description, I was comparing this book to the Breakfast Club movie from the 80s. A group of people from all ages and backgrounds, stuck in a library during a terrible snowstorm with no light or heat. The way they help each other and the truths they share about their lives will change them in a positive way long after that night. Heavy topics like drug use, loneliness, homelessness, and guilt are discussed in a way that doesn't seem depressing and sad, but leaves you at the end feeling hopeful.
Never judge a book by its cover... everyone has their own issues and battles to fight. Sometimes the kindest and happiest people have the most tragic past they're trying to conquer. I love Nora's helpful approach to everyone in need, believing that by helping others, maybe someone else is helping her brother. I'm a sucker for books about libraries and bookstores, and while this book wasn't quite what i expected, I still really enjoyed it.
I received an advance reader copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
