![]() ![]() Lots of people’s parents split up when they were babies (myself included) and it’s on both the kid and the parent to continue that relationship.Īnd for Calla’s big revelation to be that she found helping people in a small community more fulfilling than fashion blogging-was that really a surprise to anyone, including herself? Overall, I just wanted more from her, and from the story. ![]() They really had no-one to blame but themselves. While I felt for Calla and her dad, mostly I was just angry at the both of them for not fostering their relationship. Perhaps because I’ve spent time, and lived in, places like Alaska, Colorado and the Australian outback, I don’t have any romantic notions about life in remote areas. Plus, despite knowing it would ultimately have a happy ending (it is a romance book after all) I found the whole book overly expected, predictable, and honestly a little dull. ![]() Even by the end of the book I still felt that the characters were fairly one-dimensional. I kept expecting the characters to gain more depth as the story progressed, or to feel more invested in their lives and outcomes, but I just never got there. Maybe it was a case of anticipointment, but while I liked it I certainly didn’t love it. Tucker, plus it’s rated incredibly highly on Goodreads-all things that led me to assume that I’d really enjoy this one. I received so many glowing recommendations from friends, for The Simple Wild by K.A. ![]()
