J'ai beaucoup aimé le contexte (un stage de survie, la nature, le challenge, sortir de sa zone de confort...)
J'ai adoré Jake (un peu moins Helen, elle tergiverse beaucoup, mais je me suis aussi reconnue en elle alors...) 
Le groupe est hyper intéressant. 
La construction de l'intrigue est tees bien faite, je me suis laissée totalement emportée !

3.5
This was a well executed almost instant attraction, longing, age gap love story
To be honest I wanted more of them at the end hence the rating. I think the author did a good job of helping us understand both characters and even tho it was almost instant attraction on one end, I felt the tension HEAVY

As someone who LOVES romance I was surprised to find that I was completely okay with the idea of Helen ending up with no one. Reading about her transformation throughout the wilderness trip was more than enough
The romance was just a cute added bonus
I like I like

LOVED. I could hardly put it down. The characters felt human, it skipped over the boring details to skid into the action, I fell in love with multiple characters. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend.

This was such a beautiful story about finding yourself after going through a rough patch in your life and finding good in new ways. I loved the connection of the the two leads although at times it was frustrating due to their lack of communication, but they made up for it by the end. would recommend this and I'm excited to watch the movie adaptation.
