ccoterie's review against another edition
3.0
The March Book Club Pick.
I don't gravitate toward this genre. At all. My preconceived notions tend to keep me away: if I've read one book about a strong, but ultimately boring, protagonist fighting to survive in the woods, then I've read them all. Ashely's inner monologue was surprisingly compelling. She follows the tough character mold, but not in a way that feels stereotypical. The glimpses we got into her relationships made me cheer her on. Her revelations had weight and felt realistic in this wild situation. The book didn't hold any punches and I'm happy about that.
