Searching for Sadie by Grace Mirchandani

After the unexpected death of her young husband, Sadie wants nothing to do with people or modern society, ever again.
She’s done.
Angry.
Over it.
She jumps, headfirst, into the seclusion of an island in Southeast Alaska, to be by herself and rebuild her life. Living so remotely turns out to be a lot different than she expected though. She quickly learns that she has bitten off a bit more than she can chew.
Confronted with bears, starvation, sickness, bad weather, and old wounds, the stubborn and clever Sadie is forced to rely on the help of others. She might even find love

My Review

We begin the book with Sadie starting her new life with an adventure to Alaska. She is midlife and ready to start a new life away from the chaos of before. She is done with relationships and people and is ready to only rely on herself.

She is working through the grief of her husband and enjoying his life insurance policy to pay for the newfound remoteness and isolation she has been craving. The story is mostly about her survival and isolation on this remote island, where we learn her strengths and challenges. 

Sadie has family issues with loss, and some sorrow associated with her past. Flip the pilot is an unexpected, friendly complication in her life. But their interactions hint at a more of a friends-to-lovers storyline we’ll see? 

The story gets steamy in the middle of nowhere, but it is fade to black, sorry ladies, no satisfying descriptions. This book gets heart-wrenching and teary-eyed as she discovers family and love again, and also her own heartbreak. But it gets worse as her new life crumbles before her eyes yet again.

Yup, I’m totally leaking tears over here. 

The story ends with her giving up her isolated island for true love and family. It was a cute read and a sweet ending. I love the wild bits of the story and the characters’ struggles with themselves and others that get solved.
