Over the winter holidays, college freshman Marin opts to remain in an empty dorm in New York rather than go home to California. The reasons she decides to stay gently unfold one layer at a time, in an introspective novel that powerfully explores her solitude and conflicted emotions against the backdrop of a stormy, icy winter.
This book is very much an homage to a grandfather. It's about loss, and love (many different kinds), and patchwork families. Though it's a YA book, I read it as an adult and still felt a kinship with it. I think I would only recommend this book to teens that enjoy more literary type reads - it's not a plot-driven piece, it's much more a study of grief.
