Review: Eight Hours by Lia Louis

Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I consider myself to be a (non) certified holidays specialist. I love the Christmas season. I love every movie, song and story. Therefore I was 100% ready to dive right into Eight Hours, a book that promised all the feel-good stuff.

It’s about Noelle Butterby, a girl who’s spend all her life putting herself last, who suddenly finds herself in a traffic jam that lasts eight hours, where she meets the guy in the neighboring car, Sam Atwood.

This seemingly random encounter starts a chain of events in Noelle’s life that makes her reconsider all the aspects of her life she has been neglecting. She was a really likable main character, grounded and loving, you can’t help but root for her.

The book is full of “too good to be true” encounters and accidental meet-ups, but hey, that’s all part of the magic, isn’t it? *wink*. Although I do confess that I felt it was a little slow in the middle, but the romantic aspect of it was fantastic and it kept me going. The pieces falling into place were the best part for me, really gave you that “it was FATED” feeling.
