Wow. Another amazing story from Kristin Hannah. She has a way of telling stories that leave you completely enthralled and captivated the entire time. I felt like I knew Lenny and her family by the end of the story. I would recommend to anyone interested in any of Kirstin’s novels. She is a very talented writer. I felt like I was in Alaska - experiencing the story with the characters.

4.5

Overall, as a lifelong Alaskan, I loved this story and found Leni, our main character, relatable. There are a few P.O.V. changes that feel abrupt but ultimately serve the story, which is why I'm rating a 4.5 here.
