This novel leans heavily on its setting and will appeal to readers who gravitate toward dramatic relationship fiction, a sort of cross between Hanya Yanihariga’s A Little Life and the 1985 Brat Pack movie St. Elmo’s Fire.

With phrases like “Kyra felt her heart melting like a Popsicle in July,” this novel will likely find an audience in readers hungry for more “Virgin River” book or in the many fans of Goudge’s (“Who Killed Peggy Sue?” series). Add to library collections where these are popular.

Purchase for large collections where short story collections and anthologies are popular.
