Such an heart wrenching and emotional book but with the hope that everything always works out in the end.

Wren has suffered a blow in life that has knocked her down. She decides that escaping her hometown to go geocaching through the Oregon trails will help her through her loss. Marshall has also suffered a blow and has taken a sudden leave of absence from his psychiatry office. She ends up crossing paths with Marshall under an unfortunate event but Wren is a big believer that the world will send you exactly what you need. Is Marshall exactly what she needs and vice versa?

Raw & heart breaking is what comes to my mind after reading the book. There’s a level of maturity and realistic hardships that both are grieving. You can’t help to hope the best for them individually and their growing relationship. I enjoyed them both! I enjoyed watching them grow despite of their hardships. I’ve never been to Oregon but the descriptions made it sound absolutely beautiful!

Highly recommend for those that love a mix of romance with characters who are grieving and looking to move forward and a bit of open door spice.

Many thanks to St.Martin Press & NetGalley for my honest review.

First time reading this author, won’t be the last.

When it rains, it pours could be the premise for this book. Just when you think Wren can’t possibly have anything else go sideways, life says “wait there’s more!”

Wren finds out some extremely heartbreaking things about her recently deceased fiancé, which prompts her to rediscover her old self and go on new adventures. She takes up geocaching. This is where she finds Marshall. Thier slow burn friendship to more story runs in the background as Wren works through what she wants her future to look like after her late fiancé’s duplicity.

I really enjoyed this story. Any time a woman gains back her independence and is supported by an amazing man, I’m going to be there for it.

This one had some interesting twists to it. A cute romance but then it got much deeper than that when they shared their history. I didn’t realize people still did the geocaching but I think it makes for an interesting way to find a potential partner.
