Romantic litfic about two single and lonely people, Marnie (a copywriter) and Michael (a geography teacher) who meet each other during a hiking trip from coast to coast in England. 
I really liked this wholesome, gentle story.  There was some great themes that were really well written about  loneliness, relationships, loss, marriage, social expectations, nature etc. The writing especially the English countryside descriptions was lovely to read.  Both main characters were sweet and I loved their discussions, how they respected each other, listening to one another, etc loved how the hiking mirrored their relationship growth, though I wasn't completely swept away by their story, emotionally speaking.  The plot was straightforward and without much tension and yearning, especially the ending, which is my usual preferences, so this book made for a very charming and relaxing read if a bit too dull for my taste.  I'll probably check out this author's books in the future.
