 Two lost souls. Two sets of secrets. Can a chance meeting mend two broken hearts?

Geocaching might be my new podcast. I’ve never been geocaching but am fascinated by it and love reading about it. Wren and Marshall meet while geocaching and they have me wanting to put on outdoor clothes and make my own discoveries.

Wren’s and Marshall’s individual stories are both heart wrenching and even a little shocking, but the book also conveys a sense of hope and resiliency. A study of grief and loss and how the vulnerabilities those feelings cause can be overcome and one can come out on the other side. Their journey was real and believable. And I both sympathized and rooted for them individually and as a couple. Their flaws and insecurities made them relatable.

This is not your normal love story.
