Why read it?

1 author picked Two Steps Forward as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is such a fun read―a fictionalised account of the real-life husband and wife’s experience of walking the Camino de Santiago. I love how the two protagonists, who start as strangers, take turns to tell their stories, especially the hilarity in the ‘he said–she said’ of their relationship―they really are opposites but both bring out something remarkable in the other. Romantic in a very real way.

From Sandy's list on personal growth and transformation.
