The PCT being the backdrop of the story was enjoyable (as someone who is a trail angel and whose spouse hiked it). It was a slice of who hikes the PCT and the various reasons why. I would have appreciated more in the second half for character development, but understand that would have been nearly an entirely different book.

I was left with one question - where does one even shower in Warner Springs?!

This book was so refreshing. I truly enjoyed the hiking adventure, the perseverance, the character and relationship development, and the plot twists and turns. 
The reality of coming out, and not being accepted by parents is a harsh but accurate experience for many, especially in religious families. I truly thought this was a beautiful story of accepting oneself and overcoming adversity and homophobia.
Highly recommend!
