Love and Other Train Wrecks

“Love and Other Train Wrecks” is a standalone novel written by Leah Konen. The novel is a twenty-four-hour romance about two teenagers who meet on a train ride in the middle of a snowstorm. The novel follows two perspectives, one being Noah, who is heading home for one last chance with his first love, whom he broke up with when he went off to college. The second character is Ammy, she leaves her mother to attend her father's wedding, that is happening in Upstate New York.

The train the two are on suddenly breaks down due to a snowstorm and desperate to make it to their destinations, Noah and Ammy have no other option but to travel together. What starts off as a minor detour turns into the whirlwind journey of a lifetime, and over the course of the night they fall in love.

The novel was fast-paced, sweet and cute. Noah was also sweet, romantic and nerdy, while Ammy was a smart and loyal character. I gave the novel a 3/5 Stars, due to the fact that I didn't love the novel, and thought that it was just sweet and cute.
