I don’t usually like books like this but I thought it was really good. the movie is different from the book, but I enjoyed that too.

One of the few romance books I’ve read in the last year where the miscommunication didn’t feel stupid and forced.
Enjoyed just about every part of this except the parts where their personal style is described and it’s just horrible.
(what Netflix did to this book should be a crime)

Ugh this should be called depression for beginners-- or at least most of it anyway. Wasn't really what I expected or needed at the time.

This book had me in tears multiple times, and for me that is the sign of a great read. I felt for Helen who was starting over after her divorce, feeling adrift she is doing a wilderness survival trip, spending three weeks to try and find her purpose. She wasn't expecting her ten year younger brother's best friend Jake was also going to be on the trip. When he confesses that he had a crush on her it throws her.
Helen at first feels alienated from the younger group of frat and sorority girls. She is slower than most of the group but she knows she is determined to finish. With the leader of the trip constantly making an example out of her she is feeling defeated. She is fighting her feelings for Jake who seems to be fitting right in, and thriving. She does find her strengths and becomes a bit of a leader.
I loved that they finally figured it out, and found their happily ever after.
