Started off slow but ended up enjoying it and crying my eyes out. It's an enjoyable read featuring Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

This was the book version of a movie that feels like they’re making it up as they go and as the viewer you just got to decide to go for the ride and then you’ll enjoy it. Said “ok sure!” a lot and cried at the end!
