Cover Crush: The Beloved Wild by Melissa Ostrom
The Beloved Wild by Melissa Ostrom just has one of those simplistic yet enticing covers. I just love the dark and minimal look. It really portrays the unknown adventure that awaits in this adventure. I have to admit that historical fiction is one of my least read genres, and I am trying to add more into my repertoire and this one looks good. This is the author’s debut and I don’t know more than what I can read with the synopsis, but the pitch as Pride & Prejudice meets Cold Mountain has me sold. Add this one to your TBR for the March 27th release.

Pride and Prejudice meets Cold Mountain in this debut YA American epic/adventure.
Harriet Winter is the eldest daughter in a farming family in New Hampshire, 1807. Her neighbor is Daniel Long, who runs his family’s farm on his own after the death of his parents. Harriet’s mother sees Daniel as a good match, but Harriet isn’t so sure she wants someone else to choose her path—in love and in life.
When her brother decides to strike out for the Genesee Valley in Western New York, Harriet decides to go with him—disguised as a boy. Their journey includes sickness, uninvited guests, and difficult emotional terrain as Harriet comes of age, realizes what she wants, and accepts who she’s loved all along.
