3.20.2024 - The Trail of Lost Hearts

The Trail of Lost Hearts by Tracey Garvis Graves 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Tracey Garvis Graves, perfectly narrated by Eric Meyers; Kate Handford - 4.5 stars!

Wren believes that if you pay attention, the universe will send you exactly what you need.  But she's struggling with that now when her world comes crashing down.  Suddenly, she's feeling bereft and shameful.  When she discovers geocaching, it helps give her motivation to get out of bed and be outside.  She decides to take a weeklong solo geocaching trip in Oregon.  She soon meets Marshall on the trail and he saves her from a scary encounter.  Marshall is dealing with his own issues, but they soon decide to team up.  Is the universe finally sending her what she needs?

Just like in her previous book, Heard it in a Love Song, this one features likable and relatable characters that you will be rooting for to find their way.  They are both dealing with grief and need time and understanding to process and move on.  I'm a big fan of this author's writing style, featuring mature characters dealing with real life.  Extra points for this one because of the locations - Wren is from Dayton OH, where I grew up, and Marshall from Portland, where my husband and I honeymooned.  Not sure I've read a book that mentioned Skyline Chili before!  Narration was great - mostly from Wren's POV with Marshall's voice filling in his story.  Great read and audiobook!
