The Cabin by Jasinda Wilder
4.0
“The art to living is hard to learn, there’s grief and loss and sorrow and pain, but there’s also joy and fulfillment and meaning, and you can’t have one without the other.”
3,5 - 4 stars.
This story is about love, and loss, and moving on after losing the love of your life.
It’s no spoiler that our heroine Nadia just lost her husband. So I knew this going in. But I was surprised that the first part of the story takes place in the last few months before Adrian’s death.
We get to know him and Nadia as a couple and I really didn’t want to get attached. You can see how much they love each other. And his death will definitely pull at your heartstrings.
And then exactly a year after his death Nadia gets a letter from Adrian and a key to a cabin he bought for her.
So up to this point I didn’t have much to dislike about the story. But part 3 was a bit of a let down.
I liked Nathan. He was kind, patient, and understanding. And I liked Nadia.
But I just didn’t feel their connection. I felt like the only reason Nathan was able to move on with Nadia was that Adrian made it easy for him.
The romance between Nathan and Nadia was a slow burn but it was more tell than show. The transition from neighbors to lovers was a bit sudden. I don’t know how to explain it. I felt like the pacing was a bit off. And the end felt a bit rushed. At least one more chapter before the last one would’ve made it better.
But overall if you’re looking for an emotional read give this a try. Check the tw before reading though.
