Calla is without a job, boyfriend and is flying to Alaska to see her estranged father after she’s discovered he has been diagnosed with cancer. But the awkwardness of 12 years silence also has to compete with remote living, bugs, lack of access to her creature comforts and a grumpy yeti Alaskan pilot who keeps showing up everywhere. 

I am so glad I was told to read this! I was always hesitant as I don’t see myself as a general romance reader but this book just may have convinced me I was wrong. 

The banter between Jonah and Calla is fantastic and yes yay romance but this book had so much more. There was a beautiful story about coming to peace with life decisions, the beauty in the simple life and really digging into what is important. 

This book made me laugh, cry and a really think about some things. I would happily read it again and again just to revisit the world of Bangor Alaska.
