Thanks to Libro FM for the free copy of this book.
- SNOWGLOBE has quite an inventive premise. The idea that the fee for living in the only hospitable city is to become a reality TV star is fantastic.
- However, we barely saw what that daily life might be like. Most of the book happened in non-filming moments, so much so that it felt like they were hardly ever actually filming. Some of the logistics of it didn’t make sense either, though I can mostly forgive that in a YA novel.
- I could see the twist coming, but still enjoyed listening to it play out. So, mixed feelings on this book but I’m still glad I gave it a try.
