Additionally, every side character in this book feels real, with their own stories, feelings, personalities, and flaws. And his journey in this story is a joy to follow.
Jonah is a more likable character than Calla… like a lot. Jonah is the most developed character in this story, because he is flawed yet a good person. It is reasonable to assume that not all people will find her egocentric tendencies tolerable in this story, because her character will be enjoyed or not based on individual preference, so keep that in mind. Even if most people would hate Calla as a person in real life, she is a well developed character that the reader still roots for and understands in the end. Although Calla is realistically flawed and not as likable as most main characters, she is still enjoyable to follow on this journey. The main character is an egocentric city girl, with little compassion/empathy for others at the beginning of the book, but her character does have some growth by the end. In this wilderness romance, the reader grows with the cast of realistic and flawed characters as the story progresses. Cancer/terminal illness, mourning/death of parent, doomed love, cheating, jealousy, pranks, sexual content, planes, lost in the wild, divorce, step parent, plane accident, and pregnancy.And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild.” – Goodreads Content Warnings
While she struggles to adjust to this rugged environment, Jonah-the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep her father’s charter plane company operational-can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. But when Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. “Calla Fletcher wasn’t even two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. My Rating: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♢ (8.86/10) Goodreads Synopsis
