Description
Do you remember when I asked you if you had somewhere to be? You smiled at me, bore into my soul, Phoebe, and said only the world to see.
I can tell you the color of the sea in Cyprus.
Show you what outdoor showers in Vietnam are suitable for, especially under the stars in a rainstorm.
Describe the sounds of a hungry crocodile in the Everglades National Park.
But what I can't figure out is why the woman I love won't forgive me for breaking her heart. Years have taught us we aren't just a one-night stand, a stranger in a parking lot.
No.
What Phoebe and I have is worth dedicating decades for.
Adventure brings them together; love brings them back alive. A broken heart or two along the way. What two people do, is to make sure they survive.
♥You can only have one true love, and they will fight against themselves to deserve it.♥
This multicultural second chance love story will transport you through a decade of breathtaking landscapes and heart-wrenching emotions. When Phoebe, an Asian American, and Kenzo (Enzo), an Asian/African American, first meet, it's an instant connection. Despite their differences, their love remains unwavering and they travel the world, determined to remain a part of each other's lives. But as they pull further and further apart, will they be able to reunite and find the resolution they both long for? National Parks is a powerful and romantic journey that will leave you questioning the depths of love and longing. If you enjoyed emotionally charged romances you will love National Parks.
National Parks is a second chance multicultural romance with a HEA ending.

Advance Praise
"""Every once in a while I read a book that stays with me long past the end of the book. The kind of book that lingers in your soul, leaves you thinking about the characters well after it ends. The kind of book that makes you look at humanity just a little bit differently. This is one of those books."" - Amazon Review
""This story sticks with you long after finishing it and tugs at every emotion you have. I was blown away by this book."" -Amazon Review
""Great read, would definitely recommend. Full of angsty, soul matey love. Main character and love interest travel a long bumpy road, full of trauma, and PTSD, lots of trigger moments. I think I cried from the middle to the end of the book. Haven’t cried this much in a book since reading The Notebook. Multicultural family drama also a strong theme in the book. Thoroughly enjoyable read."" - Amazon Review

Have you ever loved somebody so much that it doesn't just change you, it imprints on every fibre of your being, every molecule, every atom is rewritten in their image?
Then one day they just get up and walk away. And you let them because you love them but every day they walk further and further taking all of you with them.
And every time they come back they chip away the parts that you still have with you until it hurts too much to exist. Their presence hurts as much as their absence. They are the drug and the antidote. The beginning and the end. The salvation and your reason for needing it
I think that kind of love would be epic if it didn't kill you.
This story is so beautiful and good and nothing like I was expecting at all. The writing was beautiful and the story was full of angst.
National Parks follows Phoebe and Enzo in this beautiful love story. Phoebe is a photographer and Enzo is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. They travel the world falling in love over different landscapes.
The genuine ache I experienced when they walked separate ways was just so sad =(
Phoebe and Enzo have one of the cutest relationships I’ve read on paper. Seeing them go on adventures together while Phoebe captures beautiful photos was great! She’s already a bit jaded by life and Enzo is the man with the golden retriever energy in the best way.
Thank you @netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
