This book is everything to me. I’m going to need 3-5 business days to recover.❤️
"I don't want to risk losing you." I trace the scar on his hand, thinking of all the hundreds of times I've done it before.
"You won't."
"Promise?" I look up to find his eyes, searching for mine.
"If you give me the space to grow, I'll plant myself next to you. Always."

Out of the Woods is my love letter to all of us who met their soulmate before they had the chance to fully meet themselves
"If you give me the space to grow, I'll plant myself next to you. Always"
This story was so beautifully written, seamlessly balancing past and present POVs to show how two young souls fall in love, experience grief and depression after losing a parent, and later navigate a marriage that feels like it's starting to slip. It’s not your typical romance, instead, it asks the question: What happens after happily ever after? And the answer is raw, honest, and emotional.

Sarah and Caleb’s journey felt deeply authentic. I especially appreciated how this book explored marriage not as a perfect destination, but as a constant effort between two people who love each other. Sarah’s struggles with self-esteem and purpose were relatable, and Caleb - soft, supportive, golden-retriever energy Caleb - was one of the most emotionally mature male leads I’ve read. You really feel the love between them, both in their past and present moments.
The found family aspect was a standout, between Win and Bo and the connections formed during the retreat, there was warmth and comfort woven throughout.
This would have been a full 5 stars if it were a touch more realistic (a one-week wilderness retreat won’t magically fix everything, let's be honest), and personally, the spice level felt a little too high for the tone of the story at times. The ending also seemed like a plot point that didn't really need to be there to serve the story and offered a quick resolution, but I loved the emotional honesty and how it makes you reflect on relationships, growth, and the need to face hard truths with someone you love.
If you liked Out on a Limb, just know that Sarah and Caleb feel a little different here (especially since it’s told from Sarah’s POV), but in a way that deepens their characters. Honestly, I feel like this was way better than Out on a Limb but that is just my opinion :)

REVIEW FOR FUTURE ME WHEN I FORGET THAT I EVEN READ THIS BOOK:
Every time Caleb called her “baby” you stopped breathing and blacked out so the details are a bit hazy but you think you LOVED:
- Caleb “Make me pay for it” Linwood. Hottest nerd ever and forever
- The humour; them stressing about having no phones in case they needed to google the name of someone from a movie was looooool
- Win & Bo & Gus appearances
