I enjoyed this read mostly because one of the POVs, Eddie, was basically living my dream. In a sprawling camp in the woods with her chosen family leading retreats for other women in the 1970s. I found her story more interesting than the present day Rowan, who is on a getaway in the Adirondacks with her fiance, learning he may not be everything she hopes he is. 

Overall, I enjoyed the two points of view that kept things moving. And I'm a sucker for stories of women finding their agency. Throw in the Adirondacks as a setting and I'm in. I wish the characters had been more three dimensional, but it was a quick and easy read with a compelling enough plot and a little mystery. A good summer read to laze away the afternoon heat!
