Loved this book from start to finish, couldn't put it down. The description of the Alaskan wilderness makes you feel as if you are there. Totally mesmerising, can't wait to read Kristin Hannah's other books.

Kristin Hannah is incredible at writing strong female characters. I love the way she weaves love into her books and this one is no exception. The storyline, character development, setting… all wonderful. It was gut-wrenching at times, and I may have skipped 40 pages ahead and one point because I just couldn’t take not knowing how something ended up. I was biting my nails, had butterflies, it was just so good, so emotional, and ended so well. ❤️

Not for the faint of heart. If you’re not ready to cry your eyes out, I don’t recommend this one. I balled like a baby at the end.
