Tagline: When Maren reluctantly attends her job's fall retreat[,] she meets rugged Silas and, to her surprise, sparks fly.
Observations: You know, Maren wasn't your typical Woman's World heroine, which I found refreshing. I really identified with her, because seems to have slight social anxiety and is therefore, a loner. As I read, I sort of expected her to come out of her shell and sort of become a new version of herself, mainly because that's kind of the norm in these stories. The characters get over some kind of speed bump on the journey of becoming their best selves.
But Maren remains sort of aloof, which is...nice. This story acknowledged and demonstrated that we sometimes need to accept that are who we are.
