Publisher Description

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.

"The things we remember are what we hold on to, and what we hold on to becomes the story of our lives. We only get one story. And I am determined to make mine a good one."

Charmingly sweet

I confess to watching the Netflix rendition several times before seeing the acknowledgment to Katherine Center’s work. I was delighted to know there was a novel (we all know the book is infinitely better than the movie or show version!)
This book came at a time when my life felt like it was falling apart and I just wanted to feel happy again.
The characters are so relatable for this millennial mum (caboose guilty!), it was so sweet and the story shenanigans are such fun. A beautiful, uplifting and emotionally intelligent story. Happiness for this reader is well and truly beginning.
