I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Melody recently got out of a long term relationship and ends up back in her hometown crashing at her twin brother’s place. She feels like a failure for not making it in the city. On her first weekend back home, her brother asks her to take his spot on a camping trip. Melody begrudgingly complies, only to find out she has to share a tent with Zac— the man who broke her heart ten years ago. When a storm hits, their group of friends looks to escape. Unfortunately, Melody and Zac end up getting stranded back at the campsite.
After a weekend being stuck in the woods, they realize they cannot sleep without the other. This is great news to Zac, but Melody refuses to admit this means something. Zac realizes he needs to be patient as Melody is healing from her manipulative ex still. But what’s a few more months when he’s spent a decade pining for her? The other problem? Melody’s twin brother would have a fit.
I loved seeing Melody learn to love herself again and find what makes her happy. Zac was so patient and so kind.
