A really great summer read! This novel really focuses on how solitary life can be more pleasant when shared. You can either choose to be alone or choose to be lonely, and both protagonists really understood the assignment. This trek is more of a metaphor for life: learn to get to know new people, and it will help you learn more about yourself. I really appreciated how they slowly fell in love with each other and how everything wasn't rushed. The ending is kind of an open window, but I liked how the dynamic between them worked and how it fused perfectly with the conclusion.
