This one stuck with me. It’s slower and more emotional than some of her other books, and the setting and wilderness feel so real you can almost sit in the stillness. There’s a heavy, almost hushed mood to the whole story that really pulls you in.
I loved that the focus is on healing. It takes its time showing how broken people slowly learn to trust and connect again. Nothing feels rushed or overly dramatic. Julia, Ellie, and everyone around them feel flawed in a very real way, and their growth happens in small, believable steps instead of big, sweeping moments.
It is a bit slow at times, and there are stretches where not much happens outwardly. If you’re looking for something fast paced, this might not be it. But the emotional core is strong, and everything feels earned.
Overall, it’s a tender, atmospheric read that’s more about connection and recovery than big twists. Not my favorite of hers, but it’s thoughtful, moving, and definitely lingers after you finish.
