I heard about this book on a podcast and was interested in the story of people meeting on a hike. The novel delivered on its promise of a nice little love story, with two ordinary likeable people meeting in somewhat unusual circumstances, and the freedom they have both to be themselves and explore new things, learning about each other along the way. The situations are natural, and the dialogue very funny. This was a lovely light read – I enjoyed it. It would make a good travel or beach read.
Having read up a bit now on the author, I can’t say I’m interested in his other works, and they look to be mostly the same/similar in style, tone, and premise, and that predictability might not be interesting the next time.
Fate: little book library.
