"Like Siberia itself, this story is wild, mysterious, full of dangerand then, quite unexpectedly, captivates you with its beauty. I was so glad I went on the adventure." Goldy Moldavsky, New York Times bestselling author of Kill the Boy Band Notes from My Captivity is a sharp, sensitive, and darkly funny novel perfect for fans of Libba Brays Beauty Queens and Adam Silveras More Happy Than Not. Adrienne Cahill cares about three things: getting into a great college; becoming a revered journalist like her idol, Sydney Declay; and making her late father proud of her. So when Adrienne is offered the chance to write an article that will get her into her dream school and debunk her foolish stepfathers belief that a legendary family of hermits is living in the Siberian wilderness, theres no question that shes going to fly across the world. But the Russian terrain is even less forgiving than Adrienne. And when disaster strikes, none of their extensive preparations seem to matter. Now Adriennes being held captive by the family she was convinced didnt exist, and her best hope for escape is to act like she cares about them, even if it means wooing the youngest son.

My mother puts a lot of stock in dreams. She says she dreamed of me before I was born, knew the color of my eyes and hair. She named me Adrienne in her sleep, and that‘s the name she gave me when I came along, blond haired and blue eyed just as she‘d predicted.

This book was not what I thought it would be. It turned out to be so much more. This book turned out to be full of love, heartbreak, and magic. This is a story that needs to be read by everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mehso-so

Book 21: I have a lot of mixed feelings on this one. I think it could have been a really fantastic book with a little more care and work but it was just “meh” for me as it was.

WeeziesBooks @Bklover Everything went ok! I woke up towards the end of the surgery but thankfully they numbed my mouth so I didn‘t feel anything. Looking forward to hearing from you! 5y

I read this a an E-ARC. I liked Adrienne, I found her to be smart and resourceful in several reasonably terrifyingly horrible situations.
Verdict- preorder
