This is the first book I read by Kelly Siskind, and the reason I picked it up was that it contained two of my favorite tropes: second-chance and single parent. I thought this book was okay but I just didn't love the single POV told by Desmond (Des), the main male character. It just made it difficult for me to connect to Sadie, the main female character. I think I would've enjoyed this book so much more if it was dual POV. I did think Des' and his son Max's interaction was amazing. It is obvious that Des is a great guy who has been dealt a very bad hand.

I also loved Des' plan to get to know his son better by leading an outdoor program. There was a twelve-year-old girl named Olivia who joined the hiking program, and I really loved her character. She annoyed and always had the upper hand with Des which was a very nice addition to the story. I didn't love the romance part of the story, mainly because I didn't know what was on Sadie's mind. I also didn't think the title matched the story but overall I thought this was a light and fun contemporary romance. Also, the interaction between Des and his family was great!
