Oprah's Book Club 2.0 selection. A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe--and built her back up again. At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State--and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than "an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise." But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone. Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness of the trail. Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.Binding Type: Hardcover

Another Good one
Format: Kindle
Adrian J Smith wrote another good one. This book made this book series so much better. I loved how we got the update from the other couples in the first 2 books. This book had love, HEA, sadness, heartbreak, disgust, and spice. Highly recommend this book as well as all of this author's books.

Had a few issues
Format: Kindle
This was definitely not my favorite romance by this author. I had a couple of issues with it. First, I did not particularly care for Fallon. She had a tendency to make her problems into Savannah's problems that I really didn't care for. I really didn't like in particular how she blamed Savannah for her ex husband's behavior, and how unsympathetic she was about Savannah's body image problem. Also, I've noticed that all the male exes of MCs in Smith's books tend to be just horrible people. I haven't read all of her books, but I can't think of any where the male ex wasn't a jerk of some flavor.
The romance between Savannah and Fallon didn't feel like it got enough time before they were moving into HEA territory. It felt like a lot of the emotional bonding/growth that normally occurs in romance books was replaced by spicy scenes...of which there were quite a few. So, it felt like they went from FWB to ILY pretty suddenly without really getting to know each other.
There is a third act breakup. It occurs pretty early in the third act and takes up quite a bit of time in the book. How much time it takes up chronologically is less clear. I can understand why Fallon pulled away, all of her PTSD triggers were being pulled. I can't understand why they failed to get back together in one scene, but suddenly the next chapter, without anything changing suddenly they were back together. They never really addressed how Fallon could move forward being exposed to her PTSD triggers so frequently either.

Life After Loss
Format: Kindle
This is another fantastic, emotional offering from Adrian J. Smith. Savannah is a single mother who has recently left an abusive marriage and also lost her brother. Fallon is her attorney's admin who lost both parents as a child as a result of domestic abuse. Neither wants anything serious but they are drawn to one another and embark on a friends with benefits relationship. We see their grief realisticly depicted, Fallon's from childhood and Savannah's more recent, and how their budding relationship affects how they each deal with their grief. This is a standalone work, but is related to two prior books whose characters make an appearance here - Shameless Expectations and Follow My Lead. Although not required, if you'd like additional background information on some of the other characters, I recommend you read those as well.
I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Can romance win?
Format: Kindle
The title is apt regarding the characters in this novel. Fallon and Savannah meet at a cemetery. Fallon is obnoxious. If I had been in Savannah’s shoes, I would’ve walked away, but then there would be no story, or a very different one.
Both women have issues related to their respective families, as do many of the other characters. Everyone is flawed. While this is gritty in places, it’s also full of love – for family and friends, past and present. It turns out that they’ve had similar experiences in their lives, either currently or in the past. Smith deftly brought the two women together in scenes that highlighted their circumstances. This novel drives home the point that we never know what other people are hiding and coping with in silence, nor how similar our lives might be.
