Dieses Buch ist Schuld daran, dass ich vor Freude im sächsischen Regio geheult habe
Ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand nehmen, obwohl gar nicht so viel passiert ist. Die Charaktere sind mir so sehr ans Herz gewachsen dass ich sie boxen wollte wenn sie sich den Weg zum Glück verbaut haben. Und ich habe an dem Buch sehr geschätzt, dass es nicht nur eine wunderschöne Liebesgeschichte ist, sondern die Charaktere Raum für ihre Persönlichkeiten bekommen, eine Tiefe, die ihren Handlungen einen Sinn gibt. Neben der Romanze werden auch andere interessante Themen behandelt wie Religion, Selbstakzeptanz, Familie und nicht zuletzt das Wandern, dessen Ästhetik ich sehr genossen habe. Einer meiner liebsten queeren Romane bis jetzt (und auch in der deutschen Übersetzung nicht cringe, props hier an die Übersetzer*innen die wirklich gute Arbeit geleistet haben)

I enjoyed this! Great setting and characters. Loved the nod to Tamora Pierce and Ben and Alexei reading Alanna together. Sometimes romance doesn’t make a good case for the characters being together but they had so much chemistry.

I struggled with the pacing. The timeline would go from daily hike updates in one chapter to one month later in the next chapter. The three parts were very different lengths.

This is the second book I've read by this author and yet again am just blown away by the passion, joy, and heart she brings to these characters. Lex and Ben are so cute together and just so much of a joy to read about. Highly recommend.

This book was so much more than I was expecting. There were so many moments that were wonderful and lovely. I wrote down so many quotes. There were so many moments where Alexei had thoughts or said things that felt very relatable to me, and it was so validating reading those.
But mostly, as someone who enjoys hiking, it was so much fun to read a romance novel with hiking involved! I had no idea that this kind of novel exists. And the fact that these characters were at crossroads in their lives and had turned to hiking was so striking to me. I would definitely recommend this book to other people for a queer romance! But I will include the warning that this made me want to go on a hike, and especially to go to Crater Lake in Oregon - something I might actually try to do!

A fast favorite of this year! This book tugged at every one of my heartstrings. I was so motivated to finish it by the end that I took a long lunch break one day from work to make it to the finish line. Highly recommended!
