Those who say “be prepared” never met Sadie Whitlock.
Sadie has always been praised for being the most prepared person in the room, the one who’s thought of everything—and every backup plan—for any given situation. She knows exactly what she wants, exactly what she loves, and goes to great lengths to make sure her life runs perfectly as planned.
So, when her laidback boyfriend breaks up with her for being “too high-maintenance,” Sadie is eager to prove him wrong, and signs herself up for a weeks-long guided wilderness adventure in the High Sierras of California: camping, hiking, rappelling, and kayaking. It’s the most miserable, uncomfortable situation she can think of.
Sadie’s a five-star resort girl at heart, but she has a compelling—and suspiciously attractive—tour guide: August Thorn. Thorn lives for adventure and always keeps a professional distance from the trekkers under his care…but there’s just something about Sadie, and for the first time, he finds himself wanting to get closer. As they explore the wilderness together, Sadie realizes the great outdoors might truly be great with the right person.

Critic reviews
Both narrators’ nuanced storytelling and distinct character voices create a memorable and immersive listening experience.
"In a dual narration, Rebekkah Ross and André Santana bring this heartfelt and hilarious contemporary romance to life. After Sadie Whitlock’s boyfriend plans a backpacking trip without her, doesn’t invite her, and then breaks up with her, claiming that they’re too different and she’s too high-maintenance, she sets out to prove him wrong. She signs up for her own wilderness adventure in the High Sierras. Her guide, the strikingly handsome August Thorn, thinks she has a lot to learn—but that they could learn together. Ross’ soft, upbeat voice embodies all of Sadie’s sass and strength as she discovers her true potential, while Santana’s warm, inviting tone exudes Thorn’s confidence and reassurance."
