I wanted to live in this book for a while longer. Right after a short backpacking trip in which I met a lot of PCT hikers, I could not imagine a better way to stay outdoors while I’m back at home. 

The romance made me melt - every character was so lovable. My main complaint is the

annoying miscommunication trope when Ben gets the job and decides to stay home.

“Like I didn’t know how stiff and uncomfortable I had been before, until I started walking with him. Like I had been clenching my jaw for so long and never fully knew until I met Ben, until I discovered the relief of my muscles starting to let go.”

My toxic trait is thinking I could ever hike this trail. This isn’t the first book I’ve read about it but it just seems marvelous and horrible to actually do.

I liked that this wasn’t filled with near death encounters for plot or whatever. It was two people who desperately needed to get their heads on straight going for a really long walk. They figured things out about each other and themselves and it was lovely.

Dahlia and London from Love & Other Disasters make a cameo so it was nice to get to see what they are up to now.

Thank you to Netgalley, Anita Kelly, and Forever for a copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.
