I would give this book overall of 4.5 stars. It is my favorite genre. A very cute read. Perfect for a vacation or a cozy moment with a book. The only reason why I wouldn’t give it 5 stars is because I usually reserve that for books that leave a lasting impression or Impact me in some particular way. This book was just perfectly easy-going, which is what it needed to be. I enjoyed the characters. I enjoyed the story. My only criticism would be some of the reveals at the end felt brushed over. Overall, would highly recommend.
P.s. the movie was kind of dumb when compared to the book. Great casting but bad directing.

I did see the movie first but, as always, the book was better.
I re-fell in love with the characters and loved how the story moved along. Literally a good clean feel good HAE with great characters and a fun plot.
Katherine Center has definitely become one of my favourite comfort authors and I can’t wait to read more of her novels.

Honestly I really enjoyed this book, the romance aspect was more with learning to love yourself then romantic love, but with a b-plot of romantic love I do wish it was more there, especially in the epilogue. But I would 1000% recommend it. Helen’s story arc was incredible and I love how she found herself in the wilderness.
