Lilly, a first-year school teacher is roped into chaperoning a backpacking trip over the Spider Gap glacier. Unfortunately, she cannot find a sitter for her purse-dog and must smuggle him along on the trip. All her friskiest 6th grade students are participating as well as a handsome ski instructor who resists her efforts to organize their trip in a mathematically pleasing manner. Can Lilly evoke a thirst for learning within her skeptical students, when she herself can barely survive the rigors of the trail?

Kristen Joy Wilks lives in the beautiful woods of the Cascade mountains with her camp director husband, three fierce sons, and a large and slobbery Newfoundland dog. She spent her misguided youth falling in love with Commander Spock via Star Trek reruns, being suspended upside down over a homemade pit filled with gardener snakes, and stampeding herds of elk while on horseback. Now most of her adventures consist of preventing her hubby from filling another wall of their dining room with board games, thwarting her 3 boys’ efforts to sneak their pet chickens onto their bunk beds whenever she turns her back to fold laundry, and trying not to trip over the random teenagers that swarm her house to play all those board games. Kristen can be found tucked under a tattered quilt in an overstuffed chair at 4:00am writing a wide variety of dramatic tales or at www.kristenjoywilks.com.

Super cute romantic comedy with a sweet message

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

A math-teaching city girl with a purse dog chaperoning a junior high group on a four-day hike over a glacier? What could go wrong? A lot, often hilariously. Add to that a handsome and rugged youth leader, and you’ve got a cute romance on top of wilderness shenanigans. I laughed out loud so many times at this sweet and charming romantic comedy. I loved the loo with a view and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I doubt I’ll ever get to see the location in person but I feel like I’ve been there after reading this book. I love so many of the messages that the author weaves into her tales. It’s so true that I often have to find myself out of my depth before I realize I’m stronger than I thought. And so often the rough challenges we face bring out the best in us.

Spider Gap is a charming story about a woman who gets in a little bit over her head, but manages to pull through and find love in the process. If you're looking for a sweet romance, this is the book for you.

Funny... but not really

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021

I read some bits of this book online and thought it would be a nice lighthearted read. I mean, some of the scenes had me in stitches.

Sometimes the previews are the best part of the book.

Wilks isn't a bad writer. I would try some of her other work. I feel like she was trying too hard to be funny and the book suffered for it. I was getting a lot of funny scenes without a lot of plot or emotion to string them together.

Read on Kindle Unlimited.

THE WRITING is good but not the content

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2019

DNF 35%

At first I was enjoying this. And don't get me wrong: the WRITING is good. Wilks is not a bad author.
It's the content that drove me wild.

Lilly is a first year teacher who is struggling with her 6th graders. Her anxiety over having everything right and in place and to get these kids to like math reminds me so much of my first year of teaching as well.

But she takes personal affront to learn none of the students like math. In fact, she is physically pained by it.
She also got into teaching because she figured if she can handle th business side of things, why couldn't she handle children?
As a teacher, her behavior and mentality is shameful. Those type of people should not become teachers. "just because."
Give me a break.

Her grandmother at first is a silly older lady who wants her granddaughter to find love. It's sweet...except it's not. With no thought, she posts online that Lilly is a virgin and constantly badgers her about finding a handsome man. She signs Lilly up for a church youth group camping trip even though the girl hates outdoors.
There is absolutely NO RESPECT from grandma. Absolutely none. It's a toxic relationship, it really is. I am beyond appalled by the behavior.

The worst thing about the writing is that, of course, all those on the camping trip are Lilly's students. *rolls eyes* Really? She's not even at a private school.

I stopped reading when Lilly thought that her students were giggling deviants who don't like math.
SERIOUSLY LADY?! Get the freaking heck over the math. Also, they're 12. I agree that I don't want to teach 12-year-olds and guess what? I DON'T! If you don't know how to manage an age group DO NOT TEACH THEM.
