Book: Find Me At Whisper Falls

Publication Day: 30 September 2021 


Two old rivals. One dream job. And a summer they’ll never forget.

Freya Johanssen needs a fresh start. A recently heartbroken and newly-qualified veterinarian, she will take any job that gets her away from Seattle—for now. Her plan is to spend two years in the small town of Whisper Falls, and then head back to the city and civilisation.

And then Trent Crossley shows up, and her carefully laid plans are blown to pieces. He’s the last person she expected—or wanted—ever to see again. This is the guy who thinks he’s God’s gift to women; who breezed through vet school without studying and who betrayed her in a way she’ll never forgive. She thinks he’s an arrogant party boy; he thinks she’s an uptight perfectionist. Now he’s in her clinic, and the fluttering in her stomach must mean she’s still mad at him.

It seems they have both been hired for the same job—and now neither is backing down. But as Freya works to outdo Trent at every turn, she starts to see a different side to the man she thought she knew. Falling in love was never part of her plan. And if she wants the new beginning she’s worked so hard for, can she afford to give away her heart?

A totally unputdownable feel-good read about finding yourself, and love, in the most unexpected places. Fans of Virgin River, Debbie Macomber, Jill Shalvis and Carolyn Brown will love Find Me at Whisper Falls.

My Thoughts

Small town seeks veterinarian for two-year contract. Student loan payment or bonus upon signing.  

FIND ME AT WHISPER FALLS by Ellyn Oaksmith is the engaging coming-of-age story of Freya Johannsen and Trent Crossley, recent veterinary school graduates and adversaries who find themselves in competition to win the same job – a job that is the answer to each of their predicaments.

Oaksmith has written a thoughtful and moving story about two people trying to find themselves and their place in the world. Freya and Trent are both dedicated to animals, but personality-wise, they are opposites. Freya is not a natural people-person and often rubs people up the wrong way. Trent is much smoother in social situations, but even at school, he always found Freya intimidating. Their interactions are a mixture of fun, frustration and fights.  

The story is set against the background of a small town that is as much a character as its residents. We get to meet a variety of them, but they never overshadow Freya and Trent’s story. There are the regular ups and downs of living in a small town and working in agriculture. A theme that is new to me is the purchase of land by cashed-up technology firms for the purpose of creating data farms.

Finally a special shout-out to the characters of Joan and Violet. They are both forceful personalities in their own way and their interactions with Freya and Trent often provide a good laugh.

I hope we get to visit Whisper Falls in future books.
