The simple wild book review5/19/2023 I can’t say enough good things about this book, so do yourself a favor and pick it up! Dare I say this is my favorite book of 2019 so far? I’m not always a fan of hate-to-love storylines, but Tucker nails it here and has created a great fictional crush for readers in Jonah. I found Calla’s personal journey to feel so human and realistic. It deals with loss, family, love and the importance of community. Oh this book… I didn’t want to put it down, but I didn’t want it to end! I thought this would be a light and fluffy read, but there is so much more depth to this story. The story follows Calla as she struggles to adjust to her new environment, tries to get to know the dad that was absent her whole life and realizes that first impressions can be deceiving. For a city girl like Calla the transition to the rural setting is not easy and it’s not made any easier by Jonah, the brooding pilot that works for her dad’s charter company. She decides to take a chance and return to her place of birth. Fast forward 24 years, Calla has never returned to Alaska and has a good life in Toronto when she receives a call that her estranged father has cancer. Calla Fletcher and her mom left Alaska when she was two years old, unable to handle the remote isolation.
