Review:
This is a cute, sweet romance novel set in a small national park, near Glacier National Park in Montana. Life throws together famed social media influencer, Cat Cranwell, and flip phone user, Zaiah Smith, and sets them in completely new territory. While they don’t know exactly what to feel or think about each other at first, they have to work together for the good of the people they love. When they do, sparks fly! 

I enjoyed the way Melissa’s characters bring us face to face with our own social media usage and ask us to consider how tuned in we are to those around us. The friendships, family relationships, and romance were real and raw. If you’re looking for a sweet, quick, and easy read—give this one a shot!
