As soon as I found this book I knew I was going to love it! And I wasn’t wrong 😍

It’s a beautifully written plot and characters with interesting backstories.

Two women meet in Dry Falls State Park: Jess who is an academic trying to finish her geology thesis, and Clare who is a ranger and extremely passionate about protecting the park. Both deal with their own insecurities and past while discovering themselves in a beautiful summer.

Alaina Erdell manages to transport the reader to the beautiful camping site, the lake, the hiking spots while giving information about geology (which quite frankly as someone who loves to collect pretty rocks I loved it).
This story made me long for summer, for outdoor exploration and for long afternoons drinking by a lake.

This is a story of love, friendship and found family which I very much recommend! 

Thank you to the author and to Bold Strokes Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
