![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know this may be hard to believe, but the romance wasn’t even my favorite part about the book. The romance is slow-burn in the best sense, because it wasn’t until halfway through the book that Calla (and myself) began to change her mind about him. It took a really long time for me to warm up to him (and to be honest there are still some aspects about him I’m not a fan of mainly how he speaks about women who enjoy dressing up and wearing makeup), so I can easily imagine how Calla must have been feeling. And I say that because I really, really hated the love interest, Jonah, for the good beginning of the book. It’s refreshing to read a hate-to-love story that actually encompasses that hate aspect. The Simple Wild was an emotional, poignant, heart-wrenching story that took me completely by surprise.I honestly could not tell you the last time I cried this hard reading a book. While that pretty much sums up the romantic subplot, this book is so much more than that. Somehow I was led to believe that The Simple Wild was a cute hate-to-love romcom about a city girl moving to the middle of nowhere and falling for the grumpy small town love interest similar to It Happened One Summer. ![]()
