The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens
4.0
Wolf has recently lost his best friend and is prepared to take his own life at the mountain where his fondest memories of them together live. It is fate that brings him to the Devine women and leaves them stranded in a dangerous canyon for four days. While not everyone makes it out alive, those that do value those moments more than anything now that Wolf is finally able to share with his own son what actually happened in the mountain those 4 days.
Written as a letter to his son, the first half of this book felt so pretentious and very pick-me regarding Wolf's own childhood. The trauma felt excessive and not very believable but it gives the book a very subtle understanding to Wolf's intentions. The book doesn't really start to pick up until at least their third day of being lost and things just don't get better.
If any of you know me, I love reading the first page last but even this wasn't enough to prepare me for the heartbreak that this book would be. The book is a true testament of love and belief and, overall, courage.
I cried and it hurt so good. Still not a 5 star book but definitely recommend giving it a read.
