We follow Mya, our FMC, as she struggled with her anxiety amidst a number of triggering life events. I found Redd to have navigated Mya’s struggles with her mental heath with sensitivity and honesty, making her a very relatable character to root for. 

Actually, I loved all the characters in this one (except Ryan, whose red flags were waving from early on!), and felt right at home with Mya’s found family. Redd’s effortless descriptions of the Arctic tundra, both scenery and temperature, had me totally immersed in the story (and maybe adding an extra blanket to my pile), and her descriptions of the food had me salivating throughout! 

This was an empowering and enlightening story of being kind to yourself and finding where you belong. 

There was some triggering content within this story, however I think Redd navigated these themes perfectly.
