I absolutely adored the first book and I was so delighted to see a second book coming out. This time instead of a warm and hot summer romance, which means snow + warm and wonderful love.
I can't remember exactly what I thought of the other book's endings, but I am delighted with this book's endings. We got both friendship and romance endings. So if you don't want to go for a hot date, you can just make friends with a lovely guy. Which is a wonderful option. Of course I read the book for the hot guys and the equally lovely hot kisses, but at times I just want to relax and go for friendship.
It was still a bit awkward to read in the you do this and you do that, in other words second-person narrative. A narrative not often found in books, and while it fits with this book (after all you are the protagonist), it still feels weird and out of place. I know I had that problem with the first book, and while it is a bit better now that I know it will happen it was still a bit strange and at times it took me a bit to get through the book.
I loved all the guys we could pick from. There were some guys I didn't entirely like or whom I found a bit weird and too hungry for a pretty girl. Other guys were just perfect and I could just envision myself on the slopes (though I only know how slopes look from pictures or movies, so my image might be a bit off). I never skied so I couldn't imagine myself doing that, though it did sound like something I want to do someday (now only the money to travel to countries with mountains + snow (real snow)).
All in all, I would highly recommend this book to everyone. It is a fun way to spend your afternoon. Just add a cup of hot chocolate + whipped cream and a cookie and enjoy!
I will just be hoping that there will be more of these books coming out. I would be really sad if this one and the other one would be the only ones.

This is one of those "you create your own story" books. Apparently I'm a very simple person because my story was so straightforward and short. Cute story. Fun to read this kind of book to mix things up.

Ahhh, this book was too cute to handle. I loved the choose-your-own-adventure type books as a kid, so it's no wonder I like to pick up a choose-you-own romance book once in a while nowadays.
However, I refuse to read these like a normal person. I read it once, making my own decisions, but then I have to go back through and experience every single choice.
Yup, you read that right. EVERY. SINGLE. CHOICE.
I'm aware this will probably make me seem slightly neurotic, but I don't care. It was way too much fun, and otherwise I would've missed out on all of the love interests: Javier, Josh, Sam, Leo, Orion, Ravi, Laurent, Matthew, Jake, Charlie, and Ethan. Loved them all! Seriously adorable read if you're in the mood. Even with my odd reading habits, I finished in a hour and a half.

I don’t like the style of this book but I liked “summer love” which is another follow your heart book but this one seemed too quick.

An extremely quick and easy read! Very little by way of quality but good, light-hearted fun elevated it to 3 stars. Maybe a little nostalgia for the choose your own adventures that I loved as a kid helped a bit too.

What is the point of a Choose Your Own Adventure with no unhappy endings? I ask you! The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because of the "Who needs a boy? Sister power!" ending.

I didn't care for this book at all. I felt that the adventures were very silly and rushed. I think that if this book was longer it would be much much better. I felt no feels for this book at all. I was excited for this one because I had never read anything like it before. Very disappointing and not worth the read in my opinion.
