Enter a week-long couples’ retreat in the great outdoors, where Sarah and Caleb—alongside a bunch of other lovebirds—will hike, camp, and, oh yeah, navigate the emotional minefield of self-discovery. Romantic, right? Nothing says “let’s work on our relationship” quite like getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.
But here’s the thing: Sarah and Caleb love each other. Deeply. Their relationship isn’t falling apart They’re best friends, partners, and, let’s be honest, ridiculously attracted to each other. (And let’s not even get into the “exploring the woods” scenes—yes, they’re just as steamy as you think.)
So what’s the problem? It’s not one big, dramatic moment. It’s the little things: the quiet compromises, the unspoken doubts, the years of leaning on each other so much that they’ve forgotten how to stand alone. Caleb, ever patient and steady, gives Sarah the space she needs. But can she figure out who she is without pushing away the one person who has always been her home?
Meanwhile, Sarah’s best friend, Win, is the definition of ride-or-die. If soulmates existed for friendships, these two would have been matched at birth. Win is the kind of friend who will hold your hand through heartbreak and also tell you (lovingly) when you’re being a complete idiot.
And then there are the flashbacks—the gut-wrenching, tear-inducing memories of Sarah’s mother and the pain of losing someone who was your anchor. These moments don’t just tug at your heartstrings; they take them, weave them into an emotional tapestry, and then punch you right in the soul. (Yes, tissues are required.)
But Out of the Woods isn’t just about loss and love. It’s also about realizing love beyond a person.
So, the question is: Can Sarah and Caleb find their way back to each other while also finding themselves? Can love be both a safety net and a launchpad? And, most importantly, will their tent survive the very passionate reconnection that’s bound to happen? (Seriously, though—who knew a natural pool and waterfall could be that sexy?)

Out of the Woods Book Review
Out of the Woods is the kind of book that sneaks up on you—like realizing you’ve been holding your breath for the last five pages. It’s raw, emotional, and deeply romantic that makes you want to grab your partner (or your dog) and just hug them.
This book made me feel—about love, loss, and the terrifying beauty of change. Will Sarah and Caleb make it? Will your heart survive the journey? Out of the Woods isn’t just a book—it’s an experience. And one you need.
Sarah and Caleb’s relationship isn’t broken, but it’s… stuck. Can love survive when you’re still figuring out who you are? And why does self-discovery always seem to require an inconvenient amount of hiking?
Hannah Bonam-Young delivers heartbreak and humor in equal measure, weaving in grief, friendship, and, oh yeah, some top-tier steamy moments. (A waterfall scene? Say less.)
