It was supposed to be a good day. On the one-year anniversary of her divorce, Alex Martinez is getting closure--and margaritas with her two best friends. But just before the celebratory meetup, Alex is clobbered by life once again. Damping the cheer is the diagnosis of a brain tumor she can't pronounce, a procedure she'd rather postpone, and the prospect of what to say to an already heartbroken mother. Not that Alex plans to tell her anything anytime soon. Going from blissful to blindsided in one afternoon, Alex has other plans: to be impulsive and embark on an adventure she'll never forget. Expected destinations: the Grand Canyon, Puerto Rico, and zip-lining through Costa Rica. Unexpected companion: a hiker named David who's found a woman after his own heart. But no matter how enriching the journey, how long can Alex keep running? It's time to accept past griefs, reconnect with her mother, and find her way back to happy. For Alex, whatever the future holds, maybe everything she really needs to face is right where she left it.

"I enjoyed the progression of this book and the authors unique way of elaborating on the characters etc. Accordingly, I loved the main character and was able to relate to her in a way that I rarely do with female leads in the books I read. I love her independence, lack of spontaneity, and the fact that she is less emotional than other women her age. This resonates with me because those aspects of her have always been a whole I was and it’s comforting to know that other people are the exact same way. Additionally, her difficulty to express her emotions and other vulnerabilities doesn’t personally apply to me. However, I enjoyed the fact that the author emphasized this about her because it allowed for an immense amount of character development."
