But, overall, the book is an engaging, thrilling, and heartwarming survival story that makes you think about who and what makes life worth fighting for. It was beautifully written, but some points in the plot were far too predictable and cheesy even for a cheeseball like me. Out of five stars, I’d give this book a four. Shattered hearts don’t mend and they don’t heal. That makes it a pile of broken colored glass.
You can mush it all into one piece, but that doesn’t make it a window. It’s more like a huge stained glass that shattered into a million pieces, and it’s not going back together. “Once a heart breaks…it doesn’t just grow back. The chemistry between the characters, the contrast between their fight-and-flight responses, and the reflections on life and love make this book far from your average survival story.Īs a sucker for love and romance, my favorite part of this book was its insightful quotes on love. The Mountain Between Us is one of those books where you just HAVE to know what happens next. The moment I picked up this book I knew I was in for an emotional rollercoaster. But, the highs and lows are what made this book so hard to put down. How will they make it out of the wilderness and if they do, how will this experience change them forever? Heart-wrenching and unputdownable, The Mountain Between Us will reaffirm your belief in the power of love to sustain us. Days in the mountains become weeks, as their hope for rescue dwindles. Without food or shelter, and only Ben’s mountain climbing gear to protect themselves, Ashley and Ben’s chances for survival look bleak, but their reliance on each other sparks an immediate connection, which soon evolves into something more. But when unthinkable tragedy strikes, the pair find themselves stranded in Utah’s most remote wilderness in the dead of winter, badly injured and miles from civilization. When a blizzard strands them in Salt Lake City, two strangers agree to charter a plane together, hoping to return home Ben Payne is a gifted surgeon returning from a conference, and Ashley Knox, a magazine writer, is en route to her wedding. Though my interest in this book began after seeing the movie trailer, I was instantly intrigued after reading the book’s synopsis. However, The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin immediately became a book on my “to-read” list.
While I’m an avid reader, I usually gravitate towards poetry or nonfiction. It’s been awhile since I’ve got lost in the fictional world of a book.
