**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
The Coldest Winter is a heart-wrenching new adult novel that explores the forbidden romance between Starlet and Milo. The story begins with a chance encounter at a frat party, where the two indulge in a one-night stand. Later, they meet again in high school, where Milo is a senior and Starlet is his student teacher and tutor. Despite their age difference and the societal taboo of their relationship, they are drawn to each other and help each other heal from their respective traumas.
“She was the warm summer nights to my cold winter days. She was my person.”
The author, Brittainy Cherry, handles the forbidden aspect of the relationship with sensitivity and care, making the reader root for Starlet and Milo's love to triumph over the obstacles they face. While some elements of the story may come across as cliché, the emotional depth of the characters and their journey is compelling.
As someone who is not typically drawn to new adult romance, I found myself thoroughly enjoying this book. Cherry's writing is poignant and evocative, eliciting genuine emotions from the reader. The story is touching and at times heart-wrenching, with several scenes that left me teary-eyed.
“I liked how he reminded me of a roller coaster—terrifying yet thrilling and worth the price of admission.”
Overall, The Coldest Winter is a beautifully written and emotionally charged novel that will leave readers rooting for Starlet and Milo's love story to prevail. It's a testament to Brittainy Cherry's talent as a writer and is highly recommended for fans of the genre.
