Another of those books that have a great idea but you wish someone else had written it. The soft porn sections were repetitive but easy to skip through but my main complaint is how the author is continually telling the reader what the characters are feeling and what the characters are like. I bought it for the snow and train on the cover but what I got were stock descriptions of snow and the snowbound north in Wisconsin - it didn't feel like a real place, didn't take me there or stir my imagination. Shame because the plot was quite good.
