Perfect for fans of the New York Times bestselling novel, Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch

It's no one's fault that Hallie Jacob is alone. Her grandpa got sick half a world away, so her parents yanked her to Colorado for the last semester of her senior year. Career-wise, she's specialised in fighting fire, and now she's surrounded by ice, snow, and a thousand cousins she's half-banned from hanging around with. But that's what's happened. That's what her December looks like.

On one big family weekend in the freezing tundra, Hallie sneaks off with those cousins to an abandoned ski slope. They get caught in a random mudslide, and what started as a Secret Bonfire Party takes a Potential Donner Party direction real fast. With some cousins in desperate need of medical attention, Hallie leaves their camp for helpโ€”and is surprised when Jonah Ramirez (her cousin's extremely off-limitsโ€”absurdly hotโ€”best friend) joins her.

Facing paralysing temperatures, sharp-toothed animals strong enough to survive a climate with hardly any water or air, and weather phenomena so wicked they'll wreck a mountain before you can blink, Jonah and Hallie have no choice but to trust each other. They must search for the way to town to send help back to their stranded friends and family. And THAT may be more impossible, even, than making it out alive.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The Liar's Guide to the Night Sky is lauded as a thrilling winter survival tale brimming with witty dialogue and a slow-burning romance, particularly between characters Hallie and Jonah. The novel is praised for its fast-paced plot and the intricate portrayal of characters with complex identities, such as the pansexual aromantic Afro-Latino Jonah and the bisexual Hallie, allowing for an insightful exploration of cultural and familial dynamics. The book is noted for its engaging examination of trust, sex, and family dynamics, all enriched by Shrum's vivid and compelling prose.
