Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
On a snowy evening in
March, 30-something Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at
her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off
roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food,
drink, or a working charger for her phone. All seems lost until Sam
Attwood, a handsome American stranger also trapped in a nearby car,
knocks on her window and offers assistance. What follows is eight
perfect hours together, until morning arrives and the roads finally
clear.
The two strangers part, positive they’ll never see each other again, but fate, it seems, has a different plan. As the two keep serendipitously bumping into one another, they begin to realize that perhaps there truly is no such thing as coincidence. With plenty of charming twists and turns and Lia Louis’s “bold, standout voice” (Gillian McAllister, author of The Good Sister), Eight Perfect Hours is a gorgeously crafted novel that will make you believe in the power of fate

Eight Perfect Hours is a story about love, friendship and fate. It was a lovely and deeply enjoyable read.
I do not usually think much about fate and love but when it comes to books sometimes is irresistible. The way the author approaches this topic is amazing. She builds a story that is filled with great scenes, awesome dialogues and good characters. It is very fast-paced and easy to read, it was a page-turner for me!
The dialogues are well thought, they feel natural and they are fun to read. There were some lovely scenes and even some that astounded me. The characters were well developed and they all added something to the story. Noelle was very relatable and I felt and instant connection with her, which made everything better.
This was a remarkable read for me, I felt deeply connected to the story; it spoke to me and even made me reflect about some things. That is not always easy to find in a book especially in contemporary romance books but Eight Perfect Hours manages to combine all those elements in the best possible way.
It will definitely go to the top of my list of favorite reads, so I highly recommend it.
