“Absolute, utter perfection.”―Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Only and Forever
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A married couple joins a week-long wilderness expedition to help them reconnect in this heartfelt companion novel to the viral TikTok sensation Out on a Limb.

High school sweethearts Sarah and Caleb Linwood have always been a sure thing. For the past seventeen years, they have had each other’s backs through all of life’s ups and downs.
But Sarah has begun to wonder . . . who is she without her other half?
When she decides to take on a project of her own, a fundraising gala in memory of her late mother, Sarah wants nothing more than to prove to herself—and to everyone else—that she doesn’t need Caleb’s help to succeed. She’s still her mother’s daughter after all, independent and capable.
That is, until the event fails and Caleb uninvitedly steps in to save the day.
The rift that follows unearths a decade of grievances and doubts. Are they truly the same people they were when they got married at nineteen? Are they supposed to be?
In a desperate attempt to fix what they fear is breaking, Sarah and Caleb make the spontaneous decision to get out of their comfort zones and join a grueling hiking trip intended to guide couples through rough patches.
What follows is a life-affirming comedy of errors as two nature-averse people fight their way out of the woods in order to find their way back to their roots.

      The married couple at the center of this realistic contemporary from Bonam-Young (Out on a Limb) work to rejuvenate their struggling relationship. High school sweethearts Caleb and Sarah Linwood are experiencing growing pains 17 years into their marriage. After committing herself to wealthy and successful Caleb at 19 while her single mother was dying from ALS, Sarah wonders who she would be without his constant support and hopes to prove herself by hosting a benefit for ALS research. This plan backfires when Caleb provides the large donation needed to get the event over its fundraising goal without consulting Sarah first. Three weeks later, the household tension is so thick it’s almost unbearable. Sarah’s bestie suggests that the couple go on the Reignite retreat, a seven-day wilderness trip run by marriage counselors. Though they’re initially reluctant, the trek through nature leads them back to each other. Bonam-Young excels in creating nuanced characters on complicated emotional journeys and she makes Caleb and Sarah’s reconnection believable through both sweet and heat-filled moments. This is a delight.
