Oh this book was phenomenal! I could not put this book down. It was such a beautiful written story. I had every heart string pulled. It was gorgeously put together. Well done Aimie!

Runyan never runs out of ideas. I was captivated by the protagonists journey to discover her birth mother. She travels near and far. A little mystery, romance and travel along with delicious recipes makes this one to read in one sitting.

It's another best book so far this year for me. I enjoyed this one immensely! I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish it. Wow!
I'm still thinking about this sweet story that has a little bit of everything to keep the readers' interest.
The descriptions of people and places were so vivid that I felt like I was watching a movie!
I deeply resonated with Veronica as I too am adopted. I think that's why I enjoyed this book so much.
My favorite stop on Veronica's journey was Italy. I've never been but thanks to this novel I got to go.
I will warn you though. The food in this book will make you drool another reason I loved this novel. Yummy! "Sigh" are two descriptions I can think of. Oh yes, amazingly wonderful lol.
5 stars from me for keeping me entertained. I highly recommend.
My thanks for a wonderful adventure. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I really enjoyed this book! If only we all could experience a trip like this one! It includes really wonderful relationship dynamics, between family members, friends, and a romantic interest, that are both relatable and inspiring. I can’t say too much without spoiling something, but the stories of the women in this novel really showcase the strength and tenacity of women and remind you not to settle for anything less than what you deserve (which is the absolute best there is) which I really needed a reminder of. If you’re a foodie, there’s plenty of mouthwatering food descriptions that will definitely inspire you in the kitchen. Overall, a very cozy, feel good read.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It had a great amount of travel stories, and I love a book that has the character discovering themselves and their past through travel. It is always fun to read and see a character in a book grow that way and see how different cultures and perspectives will alter them. It was a beautifully written book!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This is a sweet novel that I will recommend for fans of women's fiction. Veronica is adopted and goes on a search for her birth mother. It's a familiar premise but Runyan executes the story beautifully. She sets each scene with just the right amount of detail so that the reader feels they are there with the character. I especially enjoy her descriptions. Veronica's journey kept me interested all the way through. The delicious food is another bonus! Ultimately, this is a feel-good read with cozy vibes. The message - don't settle for less than you deserve - is an honorable one.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.

This book has a fabulous premise, wherein Veronica gets a DNA kit as a gift and learns she is adopted. Wanting to know more about her past, she sets off to Europe to venture to the places listed on her DNA report: Ireland, France, Denmark, and Italy. It is in Ireland where she meets a potential future self, in the form of Niall. This book is mostly about Veronica's journey to understand who she is, deeper than just "finding" herself.

Probably the only thing I could have done without in this book were the visions, as it just didn't jive with the contemporary story at hand for me. I did enjoy the incorporation of food and its role in Veronica's life, and I was really appreciative of the relationship between Veronica and Niall - this was written well and they both came across as adults who interacted with each other like adults.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Focus/Harper Muse for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Wandering Season by Aimie K. Runyan is a remarkable story of family and friendship with a touch of 'magic' and mystery. I've read many of her other books, most recently Mademoiselle Eiffel which I absolutely loved.
We are introduced to Avery who finds out her sister, Veronica, is adopted. So Avery and her best friend Stephanie send Veronica on a trip to the places where her family roots are and in each place Veronica has visions or “echoes” of her past ancestors. This journey of self discovery helps Avery to follow her dreams.
I loved following along in her journey.
The author does an incredible job of making everything seem so real. A favorite part of the book was her visit to Ireland. The food and that culture were fascinating to me. I was excited to see a few recipes at the end especially Crème Brûlée. I also really liked the love interest storyline.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishing for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
