Synopsis

High school sweethearts Sarah and Caleb Linwood have been a sure thing for seventeen years, but Sarah is questioning who she is outside of their bond. When a project she takes on independently — a fundraising gala in memory of her late mother — falters and Caleb steps in to help, a rift opens, surfacing years of unspoken doubts.

In a desperate attempt to reconnect, the two spontaneously join a grueling wilderness expedition built for couples working through rough patches. Already married and committed rather than facing a will-they-won't-they, Sarah and Caleb instead have to relearn how to be equals — separating support from control, and grief from growth.

The second book in Hannah Bonam-Young's Out series, following Out on a Limb, Out of the Woods is a character-driven contemporary romance about a long-established couple recommitting to each other, told with a good deal of wry humor amid the physical misadventure of the trip.
