      Suzanne Redfearnová si zvolila nezvyčajný spôsob rozprávania – a trafila do čierneho. Šestnásťročná Finn Millerová rozpráva príbeh do najmenších detailov, ako to zvyknú len tínedžeri. Ale Finn už nie je medzi živými. Finn sa s rodinou a najlepšími priateľmi vyberú na chatu. Radostné dobrodružstvo v snehovej metelici sa skončí tragédiou – ľahkomyseľní odvážlivci sa zrútia z útesu. Neľútostný boj o záchranu vtiahne čitateľa do víru emócií zavalených snehovou perinou. Ide o život a odrazu spoznávame nepeknú pravdu o ľudskej povahe. V okamihu je silný a dojímavý príbeh. Upozorňuje nás, že istoty nejestvujú a je potrebné neustále spochybňovať všetko, čo si myslíme o sebe a o ľuďoch, ktorým bezhranične dôverujeme.
