Ellie's Review
Vida's simple style and thought-provoking plot drew me in and kept me hooked until the end. The various relationships and types of love were quite interesting to look at. A Q&A at the end of my paperback was really interesting to read after the book and gave me the author's perspective on some themes. This was a quick read that was a nice change from more serious or very detailed books.

Book Summary
On the day of her father's funeral, twenty-eight-year-old Clarissa Iver­ton discovers that he wasn't her biological father after all. Her mother disappeared fourteen years earlier, and her fiancĂ© has just revealed a life-changing secret to her. Alone and adrift, Clarissa travels to mystical Lapland, where she believes she'll meet her real father. There, at a hotel made of ice, Clarissa is confronted with the truth about her mother's his­tory, and must make a decision about how—and where—to live the rest of her life.
