Sixteen-year-old Nirvana has a lot on her mind this Christmas break. She is going to build her grandfather a table for his birthday, but she has to have it finished in a few weeks. Worst of all, she has to study for upcoming exams. Now, her mothers decided to surprise their children with a weeklong Christmas break vacation in a chalet in the French Alps. Everyone is excited to ski except Nirvana. She hates it. Then, while skiing and hating it, Nirvana’s life changes ….
In this modern-day Romeo and Juliet story, there are so many relatable moments in tale of young love. The author includes all of the complications of their weeklong love, including it turning into a long-distance relationship when Nirvana has to return to England.
I enjoyed Igloo. This was a well written, well-paced, and well thought-out story of a fledgling romance. I award it 5 stars.
