Book Review! What are your favorite snow day activities? Let me know in the comments below. Mine are taking a snow walk and then curling up with a blanket, tea, and a book!

Friends, the area I live in is experiencing a snow drought! There’s barely been more than a dusting all winter! My snow loving heart was having a hard time coping so I turned to books with snow on the cover! My library had a snowy book display recently and I grabbed White Out from their selection! I also listened simultaneously on audio thanks to a gifted audio copy from Libro.fm!
Brief Synopsis: Atlanta, GA is in the midst of a huge snow storm. Despite travel delays, getting snowed in and stuck various places, and battling the elements…12 friends are on a mission to help a friend apologize to their true love. Will they pull off the mission?
My thoughts: This was a very fun, fast read! It felt like a mix of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, an ensemble holiday movie, and all the best parts of young love. Living in the south, I enjoyed the Atlanta setting, especially given how rare snow is there! I also appreciated the inclusion of Black joy as well as the themes of immigration, the LGBTQIA+ community, the difficulties of high school, and family issues.
There are a lot of characters in this book so I do wish I had read more of the story in print versus listening to the audio (which had fantastic narration) mostly because it was hard to keep up with all of the different characters via audio. Overall very enjoyable! 3⭐️
