When Brendon moves in across the street from Ariadne, he's smitten right away. He tries to talk to her but she ignores him. She loves Christmas, so he puts up Christmas lights to catch her attention, but she takes it as a challenge and they begin a decorating rivalry.

Ariadne is an unusual character, and she is self conscious about it. She holds herself back and refuses to take risks. Brendon adores all of her eccentricities and supports her in trying new things without pushing her to be a different person.

Snow Angel is pretty silly, but it's also sweet and entertaining. I like that the author subtly connects a lot of her books, giving secondary and background characters their on story. ( )
