Trigger Warnings: Anxiety, grief

After losing her scholarship and gaining an anxiety diagnosis, Natalie Hart applied to Wild Adventures, a popular outdoorsy reality show. Sure, she is someone who would be defined as the opposite of outdoorsy, but that scholarship prize money is too much to pass up.

Enter Finn Markum, her randomly assigned Outdoorsy teammate who grunts and growls responses. The duo bicker more than siblings – or is it flirtation?

Turns out, falling in love may be the wildest adventure yet.

I’m not one for romance – or at least not it being the main focus of the story, but Natalie intrigued me. I’m not one for make-up or a twelve step skin care routine (I don’t think I’ve put any makeup on in over a decade), but I understood her anxiety, and her desire to be friends with everyone – especially someone you’re working with. With Finn, I knew there was more to him than meets the eye and that Natalie just needed to pull back the layers, which she did.

My only thing would be that I would not put this book into the YA category, it should be under New Adult since Natalie is in her summer between freshman and sophomore year in college. I know it’s a “newer” category/genre but I honestly would not have read it if it was a YA romance.

If you’re looking for a cute New Adult romance read with a grump and sunshine camping, this is a good book for you.
