Counting
Stars, by Alannah Carbonneau, Is a book about a woman, Reese, that found love
at a young age, and then lost her husband to a tragic event. Needing help to
move on and overcome the grief that lingers she decides to take a wilderness
tour to learn how to survive in the mountains for 1 month. But when the woman,
Gracie Donnelley, that was going to be her guide can’t make it, she sends her
son, Logan, in her place.
They
butt heads from the moment they meet, so how will they survive a month on a
mountain with only each other for company?
…
I
have to be honest, I feel completely in love with this story. It was well
written and the character development was fantastic. After reading it, I felt
like I knew these people and I wanted to be a part of the Donnelley family.
You
would think that a story set in the mountain with only two people would focus
solely on those two people, but that wasn’t the case. We get to learn, not just
about Reese, but about her life before she lost her husband as well as about
her best friend/neighbor Kat and her family. We also get to know Logan, and his
family, including all his brothers and his parents.
There
aren’t enough good things that I can say about this book. It’s steamy without
being over the top or taking away from the story, and the story itself is
relatable and touching and so well told.
This
was the first book by Alannah Carbonneau that I have read, but after reading it
I can guarantee that it won’t be the last.
I’m
giving this a 5 out of 5 stars and I highly recommend it to others.
