From the Bookshelf of Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge…

[close] I don't recall how I came upon this book, or, maybe, it was the author. I was absolutely wonderful, and I read it in one sitting. At one point, I thought to myself, why am I not feeling manipulated as I might by a Nicholas Sparks book or a Hallmark movie. I will read everything this man has written. It felt real, honest. I must admit to having a great love of Colorado, maybe that helped make me feel like I was home.
