The Nature of Disappearing by Kimi Cunningham Grant

3.5

Emlyn doesn’t think about her past or the friend and ex who turned her life upside down. But while working as a fishing and hunting guide, she finds out that that friend from the past, Janessa has gotten lost in the wilderness, and it isn’t until her ex, Tyler shows up, that Emlyn’s ready to face her past head-on.

I was really excited for this book after absolutely loving THESE SILENT WOODS, but this one missed the mark a little.

THE NATURE OF DISAPPEARING by Kimi Cunningham Grant is an exploration of the wilderness around us and within us. It tackles messy relationships and the bravery it takes to put yourself first.

I loved the nature, hiking, and camping elements of this - literally just want to be bug-bitten in the woods right now - and even the mystery itself kept me wanting to push forward.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the past timeline story in this and felt that the reveal behind the missing Janessa was a letdown.

Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
