Abby Sher (Goodreads Author)
Just in time for the holidays comes the perfect winter break read! This fun, sweet, wintertime book is filled with humor and romance.
The picturesque montain ski lodge is the perfect place to spend winter break...if you have a boyfriend! Otherwise, that cozy leather couch in front of the crackling fire looks a lot less inviting. Good thing that there are lots of cute, blond...more

I really liked this book. It was the first romance book I've ever read.

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 imagine what th...more

I really like Kissing Snowflakes becuase I feel like I can relate to it. Although it's contemporary fiction, it also has romance in it. Samantha the main girl who thinks that this ski trip is going to be absolutely boring becuase she has to spend her winter break with her brother, dad and step mom. Sam wants to find romance at the ski lodge and what better place then to experience it here with cute, blonde ski boys. I love how this book is just right for me and my age becuase these are the thing...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

The novel Kissing Snowflakes by Abby Sher was a not a very good book, in my opinion. This book falls under the genre of drama. While the book lacked originality, it was a very well written book. Sher used words that drew pictures in your mind and that everyone could understand.
Samantha Levy, the main character and narrator of the novel, is a fairly dynamic character. She is a typical teenage girl fighting the struggles of her family and friends. She goes on a ski trip with her father, stepmothe...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. Ho...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 teenage guy...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've been eyeing this book for quite some time now. I really love the cover and the synopsis and I was super excited when it was on the YA for NJ auction!
Kissing Snowflakes was a cute, fast read that is perfect for those winter days. Kissing Snowflakes is about Sam, a girl who doesn't like her new step-mom (Kathy) and is really mad that she and her brother (Jeremy) had to go on the honey-moon.

The story was predictable, totally nothing new, but it was enjoyable to read. It didn't cost you much attention, which can be good or bad, depending on the reader's expectations. It was good regarding teenager's and their problems, although I didn't like that some things were kept left hanging in the end, like "it'll sort itself out in time, lets forget about it for now, it's no longer relevant for the story". Made me frown, but somehow it was okay. Does that make sense? o.O

This is the perfect book to curl up with when you have a few hours to spare and some peppermint mocha at your side.
It’s not a holiday book, exactly. Sam’s family is Jewish and they are spending winter break up in the mountains. But there is snow, hot chocolate, karaoke and cute boys.
While Sam is on the prowl for her first real kiss (and maybe a little more than that), she is also coming to terms with her dad being married to someone she hardly kn...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 supposed to...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 rarely give people an ans...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 disappo...more

This book is about a teenage girl and her brother jeremy, there parents get a divorce and were supposed to get back to gether until there dad found a new girlfriend.They went on a snowboarding and sking trip and sam wished she would find a cute boy that she actually liked ... and when she meet a guy her new step mom came to get her and sam told her how she really felt about her. But at the end of the book they all liked eachother as if they were a family to began with.
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 I just had the good luck to find at the library. Was looking for something else, and the bookcover caught my eye. I am glad it did, because it was a very good read.
Okay, this book has an easy plot that's easy to guess, but I LOVE it! its easy to fit along with the characters and you can just sit there rooting for a match to happen!
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.

Its a really good book about a girl who goes to a skiing trip with her family. She deals with love, and family issues
ok i loved it till the end i don't like the end i wish Eric ended up moving to where ever Sam lived or something
Sam was entertaining, but the rest of the characters were kind of flat. Okay romance story.
