Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this to be a near-tearjerker 😭

Half a star off because of how insufferable Calla (and her mom) were at times. While Calla eventually came around, there are so many times I wanted to shake her and scream. I am so happy this is a series so I can see where their story goes from here.

My heart is both aching and full. What more could I ask for from a romance?

Fun setting in Alaska and enemies to lovers romance. Male lead was not my favorite and kind of annoyed me. I’m trying to figure out how this turns into a series. Curious enough to keep reading to see. For me the setting is what made this book more than the romance.

Content notes: mostly clean other than about one chapter of open door, very little suggestive content overall and little language overall, cancer content

I loved this book. So much. I’ve rarely read a book that’s had me smiling so much the whole way through. God, do I love a slow burn. The banter between Calla and Jonah was top tier. I was in tears towards the end but the ending left me dying to read the next one.
I also loved that it mentioned Canadian (Toronto!) stuff cause it’s stuff I recognize when most books are set in the “Southern 48”.

The only reasons this wasn’t 5 stars is because I thought Calla was a little selfish at times and that annoyed me. A lot of Jonah’s actions toward Calla were unjustified, especially in the beginning when he just assumed she was going to be a pain based on her Instagram pictures. Also, the hiding her makeup on her thing; sure, you can tell her she looks pretty without it but if she likes her makeup, let her wear it.
This book reminded me a bit of Tessa Bailey’s It Happened One Summer but much better imo.

this book made me cry on an airplane.

it was funny, heartbreaking, romantic, and adventurous. quite literally a PERFECT book. I’m so sad to be finished reading it, i wish i could stay with these characters forever. (i’ll DEFINITELY be buying book two after this!)

i don’t know what to say in this review because i don’t want to spoil a single line of the book. it’s THAT good. you just have to read it. i will say though that i love Calla’s heart and her strength, and the relationships she builds with everyone in Alaska. I also was giggling OUT LOUD at the banter between Jonah and Calla, which I almost never do when I’m reading.

Absolutely give this book a shot, you won’t regret it.
