I would keep reading this series and her books in the future. This was my first book by Sarah Morgenthaler and I can say that I am a fan. Lana, for example, would make an excellent MC in another book in this series. I thought it was cute, fun read and we met tons of characters with sequel potential. I would definitely continue with this series. I loved that Graham’s dog was prominently featured and cared for. Meaning, I feel like I read novels where a character has a pet for one scene but then goes on vacation for 3 days and the pet just magically takes care of itself. Graham’s dog was blind and the care and love that both Graham and the other characters showed him were nice details that are often overlooked. I also really loved that respect for nature and animals was a strong theme in this book. She was a down to earth character with issues that were relatable. Zoey was self conscious about her job in a way that felt real. She had real moments where those glasses got in the way and were not attractive. Zoey wore glasses, and not just when it was convenient. Once again, I applaud the fact that the main character felt like a real person. I have not had the joy of seeing a moose in person but I loved that Ulysses, the moose in The Tourist Attraction, was so loved by the other characters and so respected. I loved that this story was set somewhere named for moose and, there was a moose featured in the story.

Honestly, the main attraction was the fact that the setting was Moose Springs. I wasn’t sure if I’d be chosen but I was happy to discover that I was. I saw this book all over Instagram and NetGalley and this was actually one that I “wished for” on NetGalley. But when an act of kindness brings Zoey into Graham’s world, she may just find there’s more to the grumpy local than meets the eye…and more to love in Moose Springs than just the Alaskan wilderness. One look at the mountain town of Moose Springs and she’s smitten. Two weeks in Alaska isn’t just the top item on Zoey Caldwell’s bucket list.

Not even the sweet, enthusiastic tourist in the corner who blushes every time he looks her way… Now he’s stuck slinging reindeer dogs to an endless parade of resort visitors who couldn’t interest him less. When Graham Barnett named his diner The Tourist Trap, he meant it as a joke. **Disclaimer: I was given a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.**
