The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor

Thank goodness for this book!! It totally brought me out of my reading slump. I feel lately a lot of things are just distracting me from reading but this one really brought back my enjoyment for reading and I was able to emerge myself completely into the story line.
In the beginning, I wasn't really a fan of the flash back sequences. I felt like it wasn't really adding to the store, it was just fluff. However, as I got deeper and deeper into the book and Erin & Maggie's history, it all started to make sense.
I feel like this could be a slow burn for some people but they definitely need to give it a chance.
I loved the characters in this story. Some were the ones you love to hate and others you could definitely relate to. I felt deep down the emotions Maggie was going through with the loss of her cousin, loss of people close to her and so many other feelings.
This book really gave me FOMO for travelling. Every time the description of Ireland's roads, hillsides, food, shopping etc. came up, it was like my heart was aching for Ireland. I have never been, but it is definitely at the top of my list. Hopefully once all this COVID 19 stuff dies down, we will be able to travel again.
The end was a bit... confusing to me. I felt like it happened really suddenly and we found out a lot about multiple people all at once. I wish the build up to the ending would have been a little longer. Things did wrap up pretty well in the end, which is definitely my favorite. I feel like each character resolved some issues in the end.
