This was so beautifully written that I feel like I’ve just gotten back from my own Alaskan journey! I won’t lie and say it didn’t drag in the middle there (probably on purpose, just as Allen’s journey was dragging) but the ending was so lovely and perfect. I just adored it.

I loved the multiple storylines; you have Allen, Sophie, and then the correspondence in the modern times. I loved Walt and Josh’s letters so much more than I was expecting to!
