Falling for Alaska

The breathtaking landscape plays such a big role here — I wonder if the author visited Alaska or crafted it from research. How did the setting influence the story's mood?

Her struggles to find love while also figuring out who she is hit close to home for me. Am I the only one who found her growth inspiring?

There were moments that made me laugh out loud but also tender scenes that brought tears. I wonder if that mix was intentional or just evolved naturally.
