I didn't realize this book was the second in a trilogy until after I finished it, Sarah Stonich did such a fantastic job of seamlessly blending events from the first book in with the plot of Laurentian Divide. I thought what I was getting was going to be a boring book about some people way up north going out to find a hermit that didn't come off of his island at the change of the season like he was supposed to. I was so far off the mark. Laurentian Divide is a beautifully poignant deep character dive of multiple different individualized people that are dealing with grief, childhood traumas, substance abuse, love and forgiveness, and land/political issues. It's such an effortless read and endlessly surprising. I don't often go back and read first novels when I'm given advanced reader copies but I'm making an exception with this one because the characters are so lovable that just one book isn't going to be enough, do yourself a favor and read this book.
