I literally cannot get enough of Katherine Center’s books, and this book is no different for me! And this is my 4th book I’ve read so far.

This was exactly the book I was looking for at this point in time. I wanted soul searching, self-discovery, humour, yearning, and the great outdoors. This was exactly that book.
I watched the movie back in December, knowing that it was based on this book, and loving it. I put the book on my TBR after I finished the movie and am so glad I finally got to it. The book, in my opinion, was better than the movie. The book had more yearning. It had more humour. It had more depth to the brother-sister relationship (and a better resolution). It had a better ending.
Though, whoever cast the movie got it so right. Overall, I can see that someone who doesn’t love the outdoors may be a bit bored reading this, but I am not that person. I loved it and felt hopeful, rejuvenated, and joyful after I finished it.
If you liked You Are Here or People We Meet On Vacation, you may fall in love with this one too!

I wanted there to be more rom com, but it did make me think about my perspective on life and how I could benefit from focusing more on the good.
