 Sometimes you read a book and it's so much more than you expected it to be. It surprises you, it intrigues you, and it's so masterfully written that you can't put it down because you have to know what happens next. Such is the case with Cara McKenna's Unbound. The cover caught my eye, the synopsis was enough to peak my interest but wow, after reading it I'm just completely floored and I have another author I'll add to my ever growing "must read" list. 
 After losing over one hundred pounds and taking control of her life Merry sets off to walk from Glasgow to Inverness, Scotland over two weeks time. A trek through her mother's homeland, something she's still not clear why she's doing when she is taken seriously ill. She backtracks to a small cabin she saw hoping someone there can help her and encounter Rob, a man who has basically shut himself off from the world. 
 I can't even begin to describe the complexities of the relationship between Merry and Rob. Rob is unnerved having Merry in his home. Merry is attracted to him from the start but she's also ill and concussed. They come to an understanding that leads to a friendship that leads to more. The more however includes Merry's hang-ups about her body and Rob's sexual proclivities that he's never truly shared with another person but Merry figures out and confronts him about. Rob has other issues which become their issues as time goes on. 
 This is a book with basically two people in it yet the story is full and the path they take so intricate that they are all you need. I was absorbed into this book, their lives prior to meeting, and their lives after. I knew they were walking in a mine field but you couldn't help wanting them to get through to the happiness on the other side because of everything they've been through. Rarely does a book touch my heart like this one, I felt for these characters and their pain became mine. 
 I would love to say more about this book, but I want you to be as surprised and caught up in it as much as I was so I'm going to stop and say, visit your favorite bookseller and pick this one up. I think you'll be amazed by the storytelling, enthralled by these characters, and completely fascinated as they travel their very winding road into their future.
