Entertaining story

Characters seemed more real than many, with flaws and all. Somewhat predictable, but still a good story

Fun story and great narration!

I enjoyed this light hearted story involving the complex relationship of a mother and daughter (and even grandfather) from a competitive family.

moms & daughters...

Bluebird Day is a story of a mother-daughter relationship. Claudine Potts was a well-known, Olympic downhill skier. Her daughter, Wylie, is trained and talented but wants to focus on her art. Their relationship is strained and they have been estranged for a long period of time. Wylie remembers all of her mom's harsh words. She remembers the negative judgements. She remembers the lack of support. Wylie doesn't feel good enough, and those feelings stem from her childhood.

But, now they are both entering the same competition and find themselves stranded in Zermatt, Switzerland, after an avalanche. Can the close confines bring them back together?

The story is captivating from the start, and the cozy winter setting is perfect for the forced confinement. I enjoyed this one. Quick, easy read, with relatable miscommunication, and themes of forgiveness.
