Leo and Lily rekindling their romance with all the odds stacked against them makes for an incredibly emotional reading experience. Also, Leo is an absolute simp for Lily and that made him such a strong romantic hero because while Lily is trying her hardest to stay on course-meaning that romance is not in the cards for her until she’s got her life back together-Leo’s genuine love and admiration for her are sure to leave readers swooning and silently begging Lily to give the guy another chance. It keeps not only the characters but you as the reader guessing what will happen when all is revealed. When those two collide and old feelings resurface, so do a lot of questions about what really happened all those years ago. Now, Leo is a staple in the corporate world but really, feels like he’s been an involuntarily responsible adult for way too long.
Then we have Leo Grady, the man who was her escape from all of it until he abruptly left with seemingly no attempts to contact her after his love-drunk summer with her on her farm. On the one hand, we have Lily Wilder who’s tough as nails and deals with a lot of resentment for her father whose treasure hunting antics have not only defined her life but have thrown one too many wrenches into her aspirations for the future. The switching POVs in this book worked wonders. Christina Lauren said that this book was written to escape from the real world during this pandemic and woo boy, did they deliver. Something Wilder is escapism at its finest and we love to see it. When their fake treasure hunt unexpectedly turns into a real one, Lily and Leo will have to work together to survive the dangers of the wild-and humanity’s greed. Ready to leave the sham and her father’s legacy behind for good, Lily’s final tour finds her reuniting with none other than Leo Grady, the man who broke her heart years ago and left her in the dust.
Together, they lead groups of fake treasure hunting tours and “rough it” in the wild, which turns out to be a big hit with corporate tourists. Decidedly down on her luck, Lily runs a treasure hunting retreat for tourists in the wilds of Utah with her best friend Nicole. Something Wilder follows Lily Wilder, daughter of the famous treasure hunter Duke Wilder, who left her in financial ruins.
