The Amazon promo says: "An uplifting laugh-out-loud, winter-sport romance" and " hilarious but emotional and heartwarming love story" and "A dazzling, feel-good romantic comedy". It's none of these things. The cover was changed from the 1990's, perhaps to match the new spin. It was actually more interesting than the promo suggests, but definitely not uplifting, laugh-out loud, hilarious, heartwarming, feel-good, or a comedy. There was skiing, lots of angst, and some very unlikeable characters.

Truly awful

Badly written, with tedious, unlikeable characters, and a 'heroine' with a wilted blade of grass where her spine should be. Honestly, it's one of the dullest books ever and not remotely funny.

Light hearted reading. The flow of the story keeps you wanting to turn the page. It is as it suggests, set in a ski setting with the characters portraying that sense and way of life...it gives the reader good visual description to form the scene in your mind, Sarah Ingham is a good writer in my opinion. At the end of the day it is a book designed for fun reading. Unemotional but interesting.

All in all it was a decent read.

Quite the worst book in the English language. So bad it’s good! You’ll be desperate for all the characters to get buried in an avalanche by chapter 2.

The book didn’t catch my attention from the start, and it was not quite my cup of tea, but towards the middle it started getting more interesting. For one time read the novel is okay.
