i read this in one sitting because i skimmed the F out of it LOL. im not a big fan of survival stories so what did i really expect right? i thought this would have a bit more mystery aspect and was wrong. this was so repetitive, literally every chapter was the same which is like duh since she is in the woods trying to survive but like not fun to read about ya know? I really thought the Before timeline was going to be a lot more fleshed out and interesting but no thats like 3 chapters and then BAM she's in the woods. okay anyways this book was not poorly written by any means and i can definitely see how people who are interested in survival stories would enjoy this! i think after this i am definitely going to leave this genre alone lmao.

My life has become a list of things that almost killed me. A strange and improbable list, but fully immersive and adrenaline-soaked. It's a wilderness tale story with a twist. And a twist. Tense and tangible and hard to put down. Highly satisfying.
