![]() ![]() If you’re looking for a fun and adventurous read that’s a little bit outrageous at times, pick this one up! I felt transported to the Canyonlands of Utah and now want to plan a visit (although my hike will be much easier than the one Lily and Leo go on). ![]() I have really loved the sense of place in the recent Christina Lauren novels I’ve read. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments. And as always, the side characters were just as fleshed out as our MCs. ![]() There were some twists I did not see coming which made this read that much more fun. Once the shock of seeing each other again settles a bit, these two are able to hash things out pretty early on and I appreciated that. They do make up for it once they are reunited. While part of it was a lack of communication on their part, I gave them the benefit of the doubt given the situation and their ages. I have been struggling with second chance romances lately, but this one I felt was a little easier to get on board with. This was so much fun! While this has much more action and adventure than a typical Christina Lauren novel it still has all their calling cards: witty humor, lovably flawed characters, and a fantastic ensemble cast.
