The only reason I wouldn’t give this book a full 5 stars is because it’s pretty slow in the beginning. It took me about 200 pages to really get into it, but past that point I absolutely could not put it down!

Loved this book from start to finish, couldn't put it down. The description of the Alaskan wilderness makes you feel as if you are there. Totally mesmerising, can't wait to read Kristin Hannah's other books.

A wonderful emotional book that made me cry. Definitely not lighthearted. The book was very slow and it took me awhile to get into it but once I did I couldn’t stop reading. Highly recommend!
