Read the book and you’ll know what makes me filled with joy, haha.Ī digital ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Edelweiss+ for review.

Right, which is about Lana and Rick and YOU GUYS, I think also Ulysses. I CAN NOT WAIT for the next book, Mistletoe and Mr. This is the first book in the Moose Springs, Alaska series. What more can you possible want in a book?!

The grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one, and there’s an amorous moose who gets friendly with a truck. I don’t even know what to say about this book. I am SO GLAD this is part of a series set in Moose Springs because I adore all the people who live there and I need to more of them, preferably injected directly into my veins. I fell in love with Graham, Zoey, Ulysses, and with Moose Springs. Still, if you love The Hating Game, I highly recommend The Tourist Attraction. The energy was the same sort of witty banter, kind of wacky main characters as Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game – despite a completely different location, plot, and set up, haha. Agent: Sara Megibow, KT Literary.I ADORED this book. This sweet, funny tale is sure to win Morgenthaler many fans. The quirky supporting characters, including a truck-humping moose, add charm.


Morgenthaler’s descriptions of the scenery are majestic, and her delineation of the friction between the townspeople and the tourists is well done. Though their relationship hits an early hurdle when Zoey mistakes a chainsaw-wielding Graham for a murderer and kicks him in the groin, the chemistry between the two builds at a satisfying pace. But as soon as he locks eyes with the “adorably dorky” Zoey Caldwell, who’s saved up tip money for years for a two-week Alaskan adventure, Graham puts aside both art and business to spend time with her as her tour guide. He would much prefer to spend his time working on his chain saw sculptures. Graham Barnett hates running the Tourist Trap, his popular Moose Springs, Alas., establishment famous both for the gimmicky menu items (“Growly Bear” drinks and “reindeer dogs”) and Graham’s surly behavior, which the wealthy visitors to the nearby resort find inexplicably charming. A grumpy diner owner and an adventurous waitress on her first vacation in years develop unexpected feelings in Morgenthaler’s thoroughly entertaining debut.
