So glad I finally picked this up! I am not much like Calla, but I loved her story. Made me cry several times, as well as reminding me of some great memories of a summer I spent in Alaska 6 years ago.
I expected a simple romance plot, but it felt more like literary fiction - with so many great moments of family and kindness and people's pasts and presents aligning. I'm not big on planes either, but I'm a sucker for outdoor adventures and people stepping in for each other when times get rough. And there was plenty of that throughout! Also racoooons <3
Loved the ending so much that I'm not sure if I want to read the second book (..even though I am really curious what happens next... so I probably won't be able to help it haha)
