First without giving away, it’s about child abductions. Not an easy subject nor is it a fun read. But the author and narrator did well keeping it suspenseful. It felt too long but perhaps it’s the subject matter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half rounded up.

Oh my goodness. If you haven’t yet read this book then you need to! The way this author writes, and given it covers very tough subjects/material is literally stunning and amazing!!!! Fav book by far!!!
Part Fantasy, part realistic fiction the Russian Fairy Tale of the snow girl mixes with the disappearance of a small girl from her parents during a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree.
I apparently read this and have literally no memory of it whatsoever
