I was transported to the Cold and Chilly Fictional Town of Magnolia Springs which had me immersed in the Wintry ecosystem which I personally favour as we are in the middle of the Summer season here in Australia.
I was absolutely DELIGHTING and DEVOTING in the romantic chemistry between Victoria and William and their tender and affectionate dialogue and interaction with each other. I finished it in one sitting. Easy to read and very well written with a unique plot.

Some stories don’t just tell a tale—they feel like a quiet conversation with your heart. Winter Time by Sevan Minaskanian is one of those rare books.
Victoria Evans lives in a world of privilege, yet she walks through life unseen, burdened by silent bullying and a longing for something real. In the middle of this quiet ache, she convinces her friends to join her on a winter forest trip—a decision born of escape, not expectation. What she finds instead is William Winter, a boy who feels like he belongs to another season entirely. Their connection blooms softly, like warmth against frozen glass, and sets Victoria on a journey of love, healing, and finding her own voice. This isn’t simply a romance—it’s about seeing yourself in another person’s eyes and realizing that maybe, just maybe, you were worthy of love all along. Minaskanian’s writing has a cinematic elegance; each scene feels textured and alive, as if the snowfall and stillness carry their own emotions. The dialogue and moments between characters feel personal and unhurried, allowing you to breathe with them, hurt with them, and celebrate with them.
Winter Time is about more than first love—it’s about reclaiming your sense of self when life tries to shrink it. It’s about courage, connection, and the quiet beauty of being found when you feel lost.
A book to curl up with on cold nights, but one that lingers even when the snow melts.
This novel/romance was an interesting take on society! Gave gossip girl vibes if they were a bit younger and in this version they’re more wholesome. Excited to see what happens next!
