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)

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 has been on my shelf for ages, but I'm so glad that I finally picked it up. I love adventure stories and this had just the right amount of peril (the MCs are hiking the PCT out west). These dorks are loveable and had me kicking my lil feet. Representation on multiple fronts (sexuality, ethnicity, neurodivergence) and a dose of religious trauma/healing make this more than just a surface-level read. Can't wait to read more from Anita Kelly!

A wholesome lovely read with two cinnamon roll characters we should protect at all cost

Normally I get bored with books like this because I don’t usually like when two characters both like each other right away, but this book had enough emotions to make up for the lack of angst
