When six-year-old Abel Cohen wanders off from her parents' cabin in the woods of Maine, she is rescued by Zac Lipton, a girl barely older than herself, who knows her way through the trees because they are where she has spent her entire life. That meeting sparks a summer-long friendship filled with laughter, stories, adventures and, of course, spinning. Fourteen years later they meet again, and after a rocky introduction, strengthen that bond of friendship formed so many years ago. Abel loves introducing Zac to the world she's barely glimpsed from her overlook in the woods, and Zac, in turn, shares her love of the outdoors. Together they explore not just their surroundings, but their fears, hopes and feelings. When Abel nears the end of college and her regular trips to the cabin, will she be able to convince Zac to leave her beloved woods and join her in the bustling city of Boston? Or will Zac decide to remain in her comfort zone, hidden behind the branches and tree trunks, safe from the chaos of civilization?

falling in love with a hobo girl
By kindle reader
2.5 stars
F/F general fiction, young adult, side of romance
This is the story about a girl named Zac who is basically stranded in the "wild" as a young teen after her father dies. She lives in the woods alone and spends time "riding the rails" for the next 14 years. A magical connection brings her back to Maine's Wachiva Forest and there she is reunited with the straight blonde she met when she was around 6 yrs old... her soulmate, apparently. Straight blonde is now a college girl in Boston. Initially from Connecticut, she comes up to Maine to spend time at the family cabin. Their reunion moves her to reach out to hobo girl and she ultimately offers a good bath and help reintegrating into society.
Forget Victor, Nell, and even Lucan. This is the poorly developed and implausible lesfic rendition of the "Wild Child." She's somewhat socially inept with questionable familiarity with modern conveniences, but far from wild. Just a homeless girl with an unfortunate name, really.
I think the author lost me at Zac and Abel. What horrible names for female leads. Abel is a pretty blonde- why would you do that to your pretty blonde? At one point Abel's father says, "And what the hell kind of name is Zac for a girl, anyway?" LOL. I kept waiting for someone to point out their own daughter's name... no punchline. Um, okay. The other problem with giving two poorly developed leads with no chemistry masculine names is that it took me a while to tell them apart. Annoying.
Way too many implausibilities. Zac is hopping trains for years throughout the country and manages to steal books from libraries. She knows what BIODEGRADABLE means and even makes a Wild Child history allusion about herself, yet she is clueless about tin foil, shampoo, and toilet paper. What?! lol. Only a (granola) lesbian would make that implausible mistake, lol. (I laughed out loud when Zac wants to recycle the tin foil, lol.) And how is it that Zac is the only homeless person who doesn't stink? C'mon. She poops in the woods and doesn't use toilet paper. She's gonna stink!!
I want to say this story was bad enough to have some comedic value. Nope. Only when you tell someone about it, lol. The actual read is pretty slow and boring and goes on forever at 454 pages. Technically, the writing wasn't bad. As in these authors can put coherent sentences together without typos (though the weird use of names and descriptors as pronouns is an atrocious ear-molesting flaw common of fanfic writers).
But the storytelling could use a lot of work. I never once cared for these leads. Nothing interesting was done with this romance. No chemistry or sexiness (I've already forgotten the sex scenes). I'm not even sure why Zac is obsessed with someone she met when she was 6 and then did nothing about it for 14 yrs. Who even remembers BEING ALIVE when they were 5 or 6?!?! Let alone finding your soulmate then. It read like a YA novel and the dialogue was simplistic... "dark-skinned" Jessica's dialogue was especially painful and cliche. No survivalist detail and no real detail about illegally traveling on trains. I mean, do homeless people still get away with that??? How about if you're a girl?? It's not 1902. I've read hobo culture has seen its demise since modern train cars are built differently now.
Good story idea. Silly execution. If you're going to join the 9.99 price fixing bandwagon in lesfic (thanx, Rad).... DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH, PLEASE.
Anywho. Not recommended for the thinking reader... my overall rating is also rather generous.

Awesome - Just Awesome
By Mika22412
I loved, loved, loved it. Trying to find the words is difficult. I know I will be reading this again and again. I loved Abel and Zac. I loved how long the story was and the way the story unfolded. Zac won my heart and I loved how Abel took care of her. I only wished I could of seen more of the time in Boston and more of Zac's experiences learning her new environment and taking her life in her hands. I highly recommend this book. A sweet, romantic love story, that is well written. The story was not rushed and the relationship progressed beautifully. I found myself rooting for the couple and enjoyed when it finally happened. Well done Ladies. - So for everyone else.....Go read this book - you will not regret it.

A blockbuster
By Telstar
When Abel Cohen (Spinney) was six years old, she got lost in the woods surrounding her parents vacation cabin in Maine. Zac Lipton, a girl slightly older than Abel, finds her wandering around and helps her find her way back home. Zac has lived in the woods all her life and knows every inch of them. The two young girls become firm friends and play together every day over the summer, enjoying carefree laughter, adventures and spinning. The summer came to an end and the girls didn't meet again until fourteen years later.
Abel couldn't remember Zac, but after a shaky beginning, they embark on a firm friendship, strengthening their feelings from the past, as Abel gradually begins to remember the summer spent with Zac.
Abel introduces Zac into her modern day world. A world that Zac has never been in. Zac teaches Abel all about her world, the big outdoors.
Both women explore not only their different worlds, but the growing feelings they have for each other.
When Abel has almost finished with college, she knows her visits to the cabin are going to be infrequent, if she visits at all. Will this be the end of their friendship? Or will Abel be able to talk Zac into moving to Boston to be with her? Zac has never lived in a big city. Will she choose to stay in her beloved woods? Or will she follow her heart and Abel?
This story grabbed me right from the very first page and held me captivated right until the very last page. Although this book is a nice lengthy one, I still hadn't had enough and wanted to see much more from these characters, so much so, that a sequel would be very welcome.
Both Abel and Zac are multidimensional and so vastly different. Abel has grown up having every modern convenience, while Zac has basically lived in the wild without really knowing much about civilization, let alone every day modern conveniences and technology. But, do two people have to be similar or the same to be soul mates? The answer is no. Not if you believe in true love and the concept of having a soul mate.
This book starts out when Abel and Zac were young, they didn't meet again for many years. Where as Abel had forgotten about Zac, Zac had always remembered Abel, Spinney as she was nicknamed back then. As the story unfolds, we read about how they meet again and get to know one another all over again. I don't want to add in any spoilers, but suffice it to say, that I found the story fascinating.
This book is very well written and has highs and lows of emotions and is very sad in parts, although there is a lot of happiness and laughter throughout too. As the story moves forward, it's good to see how Zac is integrated into the Cohen family and comes to accept that they are not out to harm her and how she goes from being a recluse into actually enjoying the company of others. We follow her as she learns all about living in the world of people, rather than the world of her forest with just animals for company. Zac's only experience outside of the forest was spent `riding the rails'. But she rarely encountered many people, so didn't learn to interact with them. We also see how Abel learns all about Zac's world too. How two so very different worlds collide and hopefully, Zac will become as comfortable in both worlds as Abel is.
This is a book that I'll be reading again. I'm now looking forward to more from both Kim Pritekel and Alex Ross.
