I loved this book. So much. I’ve rarely read a book that’s had me smiling so much the whole way through. God, do I love a slow burn. The banter between Calla and Jonah was top tier. I was in tears towards the end but the ending left me dying to read the next one. 
I also loved that it mentioned Canadian (Toronto!) stuff cause it’s stuff I recognize when most books are set in the “Southern 48”.

The only reasons this wasn’t 5 stars is because I thought Calla was a little selfish at times and that annoyed me. A lot of Jonah’s actions toward Calla were unjustified, especially in the beginning when he just assumed she was going to be a pain based on her Instagram pictures. Also, the hiding her makeup on her thing; sure, you can tell her she looks pretty without it but if she likes her makeup, let her wear it.
This book reminded me a bit of Tessa Bailey’s It Happened One Summer but much better imo.

this book made me cry on an airplane. 

it was funny, heartbreaking, romantic, and adventurous. quite literally a PERFECT book. I’m so sad to be finished reading it, i wish i could stay with these characters forever. (i’ll DEFINITELY be buying book two after this!) 

i don’t know what to say in this review because i don’t want to spoil a single line of the book. it’s THAT good. you just have to read it. i will say though that i love Calla’s heart and her strength, and the relationships she builds with everyone in Alaska. I also was giggling OUT LOUD at the banter between Jonah and Calla, which I almost never do when I’m reading. 

Absolutely give this book a shot, you won’t regret it.

So glad I finally picked this up! I am not much like Calla, but I loved her story. Made me cry several times, as well as reminding me of some great memories of a summer I spent in Alaska 6 years ago.
I expected a simple romance plot, but it felt more like literary fiction - with so many great moments of family and kindness and people's pasts and presents aligning. I'm not big on planes either, but I'm a sucker for outdoor adventures and people stepping in for each other when times get rough. And there was plenty of that throughout! Also racoooons <3

Loved the ending so much that I'm not sure if I want to read the second book (..even though I am really curious what happens next... so I probably won't be able to help it haha)
