3.0

This young adult book reminded me of I Am Still Alive, but I didn’t like it as much. It has more questionable content that didn’t add much to the story.

speterson47's review against another edition

Ashley has a bad night with her friends when she gets a surprise that sends her into the wild. Once there she must fight to survive and get back to her life, but will her years of experience in the woods be enough to get her back home?

This one is not for the faint of heart. Descriptions of injuries and survival in the wild are detailed and sometimes gruesome, but do go along to support the in depth character journey.

oh my god i hated this book. About 25% through i was thinking i would give it two stars but it just kept getting worse. 

The main character is absolutely insufferable, the only thing she talks about is how she’s not like other girls, she doesn’t like people, and she doesn’t believe in god. it’s those three things just restated over and over again a hundred times. Usually I can overlook swearing, but she used the F word maybe every three minutes and it just added to how irritating she is, plus i found her obsession with her childhood mentor outright creepy.

WHO CRAWLS IN AND HAS A CHAT WITH A CORPSE?!

 

There were also some major plot holes and grammatical errors.
