Publisher's Summary
AS SEEN ON NETFLIX - AN UPLIFTING ROMANTIC COMEDY FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BODYGUARD
Sometimes to find your way, you have to get really, really lost...
Helen Carpenter has always lived her life as far from the edge as possible. Finding herself newly divorced and a little lost, Helen decides she needs a reset. So when her annoying younger brother convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course, she hopes the adventure will be exactly what she needs.
Instead, it's a disaster. It's nothing like she expected. She doesn't expect the surprise summer blizzard, for example-or the blisters, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especially doesn't expect that her annoying brother's even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, would show up for the exact same course-and distract her, derail her, and... kiss her.
But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you can't. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.

Nice easy love story
A bit corny and cliche in places . I think the narrator was the wrong fit for this book. I really think a gentler voice for Helen would have suited. Although I think she did well with Jake . Some funny bits. I think the end was too sudden . I would have liked to see their future fleshed out more . Overall enjoyable.

Loved it
I think the narrator did a great job. The story felt similar to Wild by Cheryl Strayed but only so far that she heads to nature to improve her life. A predictable ending but it was an enjoyable experience.

It was ok
There wasn’t a lot of spice and it felt like there were loose ends but it was an easy read

Wholesome?
The movie is really good. The book has swearing in it which I don’t like so I would not say it’s wholesome. The storyline is great! The voice actress does very well.
