This was cute! I liked the hiking aspect and found it interesting. I also appreciated the heavier and more serious topics discussed. I do wish we got a little more closure with friendships and fallouts. I’m usually not a big fan of friends to lovers, but this was cute. I also like the maps that were included. I’ll never think about this again though tbh.

I really like Jenn Bennett's novels. This is my second of hers, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It had a bit of a slow start, but once Lennon and Zorie got going, I was hooked. It's the perfect summer read. I liked that it had a bit of depth, it wasn't just a teen romance. There is sex in this novel, but it's not explicit. It's sex positive, safe sex representation, and has consent representation. I really like that about Bennett's books.
