When Autumn is stranded in a library during a snowstorm with Dax, the weekend becomes a test of both practical endurance and trust. Their confined situation brings anxiety, secrecy, and the assumptions they make about one another into the foreground. The romance develops alongside the immediate challenge of staying warm and finding food, while Autumn reckons with the possibility that the person she expected to come back for her may not be the one she needs beside her.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary romance.
  • Readers who enjoy stories built around two characters sharing an unexpected, confined predicament.

Book overview

In this irresistible story, Kasie West explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect. Witty and romantic, this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson.

Autumn Collins doesn't let anyone get close.

She can't tell anyone about her anxiety, especially not Jeff--he'd never be her boyfriend if he knew.

But then she gets trapped in the library, instead of making it up the mountain to a bonfire with Jeff and her friends.

And she isn't alone: Dax Miller got locked in, too.

With tattoos and a juvie record and a constant scowl, Dax isn't exactly helping Autumn feel any better. She's sure Jeff will realize that he left her behind and come racing back to rescue her, any minute now.

Only he doesn't come. No one does--instead, a snowstorm blows into town and the temperature plummets. Autumn tries to stay calm. As she and Dax trade secrets, forage for vending machine food, and huddle together for warmth, Autumn realizes she may not survive the weekend if she doesn't let Dax get close. And to her surprise, she may want him to.
