Before I say anything about Kissing Snowflakes you should know that a) I am not in the target demographic for this book, being neither a teenager nor a girl and b) I'm friends with the author, Abby Sher (improvista, essayist, and now novelist). Having gotten those caveats out of the way: it's wonderful. Sam(antha) Levy is headed to a Vermont ski resort with her brother, father, and brand-new step-mom, and without her best friend. Can anything good come out of the trip? Maybe Drew, the handsome, More...

Samantha (Sam) is just trying to deal with being stuck in Vermont for a week with her brother, her dad, and her brand new step-mom, while simultaneously trying to find the perfect hot guy of her dreams. This is an amusing and light read for me. I've only read this once before, last winter when I bought it, and I decided to reread it because of the weather's recent turn toward frigid temperatures.

Though there wasn't enough description to truly paint a picture for me, I was able to ima More...

Kissing Snowflakes by Abby Sher is an amazing teen love story that all girls would love. When Sam is taken on a honeymoon with her father, brother and new stepmom Kathy to Burlington, Vermont. Sam thinks it’s going to be the worst vacation ever because she hates her stepmom, but her dad really wants Sam to get to know her better that’s why they're taking this Ski vacation. Once Sam get to the resort she is introduced to the owner and his son Eric who is around her age. Later that night she has a More...

The novel kissing Snowflakes is the best book I've ever read. The books about a girl named Samantha (Sam) who goes with her dad on his honeymoon. He just got married to a young woman that Samantha really doesn't like. What Samantha's going to do the whole time is try to find love. My least favorite part in this book is when Samantha finds someone she likes and they go out for awhile. But later on he wants to do things with Samantha that she doesn't want to do. So later on he moves on to another More...

This book was a very fast read, partly because of the large type in the book, and the fact that I didn't think it was very long!! The story was okay, typical teen drama unfolds all focused on 'will he kiss me??', 'Is he the one??'. The fact that I am no longer 15 (thank god) made this book kind of boring and blood boiling. It wasn't anything more than a 'harlequin' novel for teens, and the fact that the main focus seemed to be about getting kissed made me want to throw the book in the corner. More...

I thought this book was quite a typical ‘fantasy’ teenage romance book. I have read many books with the same kind of story line. A girl whos parents are split, the girl is dragged on holiday with dad/mum and new step mum/dad and meets a jok, goes out with the jok and all he is a player, then some other quieter guy comes along and they fall in love. For this reason, this book was not as enjoyable but for someone looking for a book on that story line, this is the perfect book. I did not enjoy this More...

Kissing snowflakes felt very predictable. The plot was very original, I felt like I've read so many other books just like this before. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. Samantha is forced to go on a trip to Vermont with her family. Like any other teenager, she would reject. However, she ends up meeting an amazing skier, Drew. They slowly start to like each other, until Samantha realizes what a jerk he is. All this time, Drew was just trying to "get some". Typical for a t More...

Kissing Snowflakes - I didn't like the plot of the story very much. It was very predictable compared to most of the books I've read. Even though I didn't like the overall story that much, I did enjoy the ending. It had an obvious twist towards the end, but it's the way the author has described it that caught my attention. The protagonist Samantha seemed like a pretty insecure girl, who doesn't like the change that has occurred in her family. In this story of shattered pieces of romance comes wi More...

i had such high hopes for this book! i was craving a winter read and i was soon disappointed within the first few pages of this book.
this is the kind of book you have to force yourself to finish.i put this book down and then started reading two other books because i just didn't have any desire to finish this thing.
why would you cram divorce into a short winter book? then we have to deal with the stepmom and all that crap.i just don't think you should put that in a short book that's More...

It’s winter break, and Samantha, Jeremy, her dad, and her new step-mom, Kathy are taking a vacation in Vermont. All Sam wants to do is relax and find a cute guy to kiss. But things are turning out so perfect. The inn they are staying at has no people that are her age with the exception of the owner’s strange son Eric. Her brother is immature, her best friend Phoebe is acting strange and distant, and she and Kathy can’t manage to get along. It seems that Sam will have to spend winter break sulkin More...

I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would! The main character, Sam Levy, was really relatable. I definitely felt like Sam and myself could be good friends. In the book, she did a lot of things I do, and that made me like the book even more.

On the other hand, I felt like sometimes Sam was too bland. Someone would ask her an important question, and she'd just say "yeah." And they she would complain that people didn't understand her. And it's like, well, duh, you rar More...

I read this looking for a cute teen romance novel that I could read in an hour or so. The story fits a formula that is so predictable that it hurts. (A misfit but lovable teen who hates her parents goes on a vacation and meets an incredibly hot guy. There's a not so hot guy in the background who has the heart of gold and actually turns out to be attractive. Guess who she ends up with.)
There's also talk of sex, which I don't think should be in a book directed at 14 year olds. I was pretty di More...

Could have been a very cute story, but once again something I wish I could have edited. A 15-year-old girl goes on vacation to the mountains and meets a hot guy that only wants one thing.

Story line was good, but lots of immoral things. She wants to wait for the right guy which was good, but... I would have given it one star, but like I said the plot was good, just needed to be edited.

Moral Note: Talk of sex, alcohol, and a few swear words.

This book is about a girl who goes with her dad and stepmom on a skiing trip. At first she is really bummed about it and feels very lonely, but then she meets a guy named Drew who she really likes. After she finds out a secret about him, they break up. I don't want to give the rest away! :)

That even if you refuse something for so long.
After a while you're going to get tired of it.
And learn to live with whatever you have to.
And deal with it.

Samantha Iris Levy's dad (Judd) just got married to Kathy. He dad takes her and her brother Jeremy Vermont for their honeymoon. Yes, they go to their dad and step mom's honeymoon. There she meets, Eric, Aaron, Liz, Dina, Heidi, Drew,Ashley, Martha, Luis, and Fozzie.
Sam learns things about herself. Makes a bad choice about Drew, and makes a good choice after an incident on the mountain. It's a really good book, and I'd maybe consider reading it again, just not all of it.
