Some might find this *spoilery* regarding a specific trope. Read at your own discretion.

I know there’s plenty of discord over whether or not tropes should be included when discussing a book, but y’all, this is prime example number one why I appreciate them and how I wish just one review I happened to scan through had mentioned the surprise in this one.

It made me feel like things could have been handled better. With only a week together and confessing a lot of things about yourself, but not feeling that reciprocity (and calling the MMC out on it) to then being secretive yourself? I don’t know, didn’t work for me.

This was a super quick (less than 9 hours) audiobook and I will say, I LOVED the narrator. I had no issues with the production or anything of that nature. My issues are about the book themselves.

And I was really loving all of the outdoorsy content that after the halfway point just disappeared. I feel like a little more length within the book would have allowed some deeper exploration of feelings and combining what felt like two different halves of this book.

Overall audience notes:

- Language: low-moderate
- Romance: 2-3 brief, low explicit open door
