I almost gave this book 3 stars but that would be a stretch. I thought I would love this book but  honestly 1). Too slow and 2). Too repetitive. The concept was great though, the storylines were a little hard to follow (I will admit I am not a fan of a nonlinear storyline.)
The romance felt forced.

Two women go geocaching for one of their lost memories/magic. Mostly it’s a series of fetch quests. The ending is a letdown. The “sapphic romance” barely exists.

I don't want to compare it to the podcast Old Gods of Appalachia, but I did largely read this in the narrator's voice. But to be clear - it's not simply a story they would tell.
