Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young
3.5
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
18 - one direction
being together since high school, it’s understandable sarah and caleb has reach a sort of standstill in their marriage so off to the woods they go, to not just figure what is going on with their marriage but to also figure out what is going on with themselves
a touching, emotional story about a marriage with realistic problems between high school sweethearts that have been together for so long as well as grieving the loss of a parent. this story felt so real and raw especially with the emotional flashbacks with sarah’s mom and the glimpses of young love between sarah and caleb. so emotionally vulnerable
I especially love the narrative writing! lively and you can hear sarah’s personality
sarah’s inner conflict where she felt like she hasn’t achieved much in life was very relatable. very giving this is me trying - "So I got wasted like all my potential” // “I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere”
I love caleb my acts of service king !!! And his love for sarah reminds me of those soft, calming types of love that sarah truly needed especially in high school.

with that being said, this book is very slow pacing where it felt dragging and boring at times. Also, in terms of a marriage in crisis book, this felt very bland. Idk how to explain it like this felt lacking for me.
