The Simple Wild (Wild, #1) in Around the Year in 52 Books

Sep 02, 2018 Sera rated it it was amazing

I rarely feel so seen emotionally by a book and that’s what this was. There are some parallels to some of my own experiences and that made for an emotional journey with this book. Always keeping it light though with the enemies to lovers/grumpy-sunshine feels it gives. This book always sticks out as a favorite to me even years later.
This was simply the BEST book I’ve read in a REALLY long time. Perfect in every way. Tears galore. I want a sequel immediately!
