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.

Always fun to read about a specific location in a book and be able to say “hey, I’ve been there.” End of the book made me say ACAB tho
