This books was so sweet. It was Sweet Valley High meets some sort of foodie book. I love all the different ice-cream references. It made me hungry. Lol. Jessie lives in Alaska with her parents and works in the family ice-cream shop. It is winter break, and she finds herself in a love triangle. I love the humor and the characters that Ray writes. I would love to see a sequel. This book is amusing and appropriate (and I think relatable ) for teens and adults alike. ( )

Top 5 things on Jessie Whitman's to-do list:

1. Enjoy the three weeks off from school that living in Alaska offers every year.
2. Beat the unjustly perfect and obnoxiously rude Sabrina at the Annual Best Costume Contest, while wearing her best friend, Abby's, design.
3. Get to the bottom of why her boyfriend, Jake, hasn't been in contact with her. She can't let her friends be right in believing that he is too "wishy washy." Also, fill him in on all that's in store for him at the Northern Lights Ball.
4. Figure out this new girl, Evie, that Jake has brought along with him. It just can't be his new girlfriend... right?
5. Keep her dignity and composure while trying to accomplish all of this, trying not to resort in eating ice cream all the time when times get tough, just because there's such easy access. Well, maybe a little ice cream everyday won't hurt, just as long as she can fit into the dress for the Ball.

And oh yeah... try not to be one of those girls who fall madly in love with Will Parker - it's not like charm and hotness are everything!

This will be one winter break Jess will never forget. Just as long as she has her friends by her side and stays true to herself, everything will come out as she wants it to. Of course, this is easier said then done.

As her first debut for young adults, Claire Ray shows us that there is more to Alaska then just Sarah Palin. With friends who love her and guys who adore her, readers will want what's best for Jess. Cute, hilarious, and heartwarming, SNOW IN LOVE is the next ski read! ( )
