Good read with a good message. Beware to those who do not like to read about drug use.

Five people are snowed in during a record setting snowstorm. Stuck in a library together, nothing happens. Yet everything changes.
This book made me feel things I haven’t felt in a while and choked me up toward the end. I was worried the ending would be trite or “neat” and it was sheer perfection. The writing is impeccable. Descriptions are poetic and beautiful. I literally don’t know that there was anything I hated. This book is as close to perfect as it gets.

This book goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover and you never know what's going on in someone's life. The characters drew me in and I enjoyed getting to know them. I really enjoyed that a good portion of the book was dedicated to what happened after the snowstorm. It wasn't just focused on the one night, but continued the character development and relationships.
