Something Wilder

Guys, you all know I love Christina Lauren so much. But this book? Buck wild. The story follows a woman who's late father was a treasure hunter. She now uses his notes to run little tourist expeditions to do fake treasure hunts so she can buy her land back. When the man she had a summer romance with comes with his friends to do this expedition, the two must come to terms with the miscommunications they had in the past. From there, the plot goes off the rails.

First, something very big and very dark happens pretty quickly towards the beginning of the story, and no one acts like how a normal human would act in this circumstance. I was so confused. And then the plot just kept taking more and more wild turns. And the fact there was still a romance happening this whole time just felt so wild.

Ultimately, the romance was cute, but the plot got so out of hand I just didn't find any of the story believable. It did give me some national treasure vibes so I loved that.
