I feel like i was in a marathon, i experience a range of emotions throughout the book,Though the primary one was sadness even in joyful moments, it lingers in the background. Jack and Mabel an old childless couple move to Alaska in the hope of running from their grief and new starts.

Their story is about losses, friendships and new beginning, and i enjoyed following it to the fullest. Plus, it does not hurt that they are the sweetest couple ever. I loved the other characters too, each was unique , and has a role to play in Mabel and Jack journey. The author description of the winter and Alaska was beautiful, the people who lived there before technology really had it rough. Final notes, I had two issues with the book, first it dragged a little in the second half. Second, personally i did not like the ending so much, i was like "Wait that's it". I can see why many say it's logical,but i was a little disappointed, just a little.

True, i don't know where's this heading, but i am enjoying it a lot.

WHY?

I guess it was a good start. It just like any first book in a series, it presented a back story and information about the world. It hinted what's coming in the future. Establish the basic relationships. Overall, it was enjoyable, Dina is a funny character, i like her sense of humor. plus she obviously a girl with back bone. True, the book loss my interest a number of times, But that will not discourage me from reading the future books.

I am feeling a book slump, it is probably because my reading spree, these past months. Anyway, I am fighting it.

Okay now about the book, Finally i started to read it and initial thought, i like the protagonist, Dina she is funny and witty. plus, she looks like she can kick ass pretty well.
