Four travelers are planning on a nice hike in the Alps. Cat, her husband (Paul), her sister (Ginny), and her sister’s husband (Tristan). However, the trip is much more arguing and issues than expected. 

The story is told in third person, but we get a bit of perspective from all four travelers. 

There isn’t really a big twist in the story, just kind of small ones. Nothing shocking though.

Overall, it is on the shorter side and I got through it quickly. It held my attention well but it was fairly average for me.
