I absolutely loved this story. I've never had much interest in Alaska but after reading this book I was watching YouTube videos and looking at images trying to capture the essence of what was portrayed and it was spot on. I loved that the main character was a 14 year girl and we saw life in Alaska in her young eyes. The young love between her and Matthew was sweet. The dark side of the book is real life and not everyone has princess lives. I can see how that life can easily happen. I think Kristen Hannah did a fabulous job on this book!
