ARC from St. Martins Press for an honest review
Book Blurb:
Thirty-four-year-old Wren Waters believes that if you pay attention, the universe will send you exactly what you need. But her worldview shatters when the universe delivers two life-altering blows she didn’t see coming, and all she wants to do is put the whole heartbreaking mess behind her. No one is more surprised than Wren when she discovers that geocaching―the outdoor activity of using GPS to look for hidden objects―is the only thing getting her out of bed and out of her head. She decides that a weeklong solo quest geocaching in Oregon is exactly what she needs to take back control of her life.
Enter Marshall Hendricks, a psychologist searching for distraction as he struggles with a life-altering blow of his own. Though Wren initially rebuffs Marshall’s attempt at hiker small talk, she’s beyond grateful when he rescues her from a horrifying encounter farther down the trail. In the interest of safety, Marshall suggests partnering up to look for additional caches. Wren’s no longer quite so trusting of the universe―or men in general―but her inner circle might argue that a smart, charismatic psychologist isn’t the worst thing the universe could place in her path.
My Review: 4 stars
The Trail of Broken Hearts by Tracey Garvis Graves is an emotional read that touches on the broken parts of people and if they’re able to become whole again.
Wren Waters is dealt a devastating blow that causes immense grief. Within hours it’s followed up by another life altering blow. Of course, she’s a hot mess as she wallows in her anger, misery, and sadness. Wren takes a well-needed solo trip to do some geocaching and time to mentally reset.
Enter Marshall, a fellow geocacher, who comes to her rescue when she’s put in a dangerous situation. He seems like a good guy but so did her ex, so why should she trust any man. He is also dealing with his own issues but he’s holding back and so is she.
The story focuses on the heart, the power of healing and most importantly on trusting yourself to fall in love again. Vulnerability isn’t easy and this story beautifully shares how two shattered hearts can heal and love again. This book will give you all the feels.Â
