Calla’s and her mother left Alaska 24 years ago. Calla hasn’t spoken to her Alaskan bush pilot father in 12 years. And now he’s sick and she has a chance to reconnect. Her mother warned her about falling in love with Alaskan bush pilots, or as she prefers to refer to them as “sky cowboys”. But sometimes people surprise you, and for Calla that person is the yeti Jonah.

So finding this book was thanks to a book bingo I chose to do, and the prompt was “set in the arctic”. Which let me tell you, finding a book that felt like my jam, that was set in the arctic with what was meant to be help from Google was hard. And when I started this book I wasn’t too sure if I’d even enjoy it, especially the first time “sky cowboys was referenced” 🤣 but man, the way Tucker writes about the scenes of Alaska in this book… I think I need to book my own trip asap!
