I really enjoyed this one. As someone who is obsessed with the legend of Tarzan, I loved Emma’s rendition of the tale, staying true to the original story and yet making it her own.

I really loved the relationship between Thorne and Eden, the slow buildup of getting to know each other and overall just how sweet and heartwarming it was.

I also highly enjoyed the main plot, I loved how Emma weaved in little pieces from other POVs. It really built up a lot tension to see how it would play out, so much so that I ended up binging the second half in one sitting (a rarity for me lately). I loved the added magical realism aspect of the forest coming to life. It felt like an ode to my younger self who wholly believed that the forest was alive. It was charming in a sense.

Overall this was super sweet and has a wonderful HEA that I’m very fond of. I’ll definitely be picking up more of Emma’s books!
