I have never seen someone put into words so well the process of anticipated grief one is thrust into as one becomes the primary caretaker of a family member in palliative care. What a punch in the gut.

this is a memoir where all i can really say is that im so glad cheryl was so open with her life in this book, giving us readers such an intimate look into her story as she took us all along with her on the pacific crest trail.

Book: 3.5 stars. This book is at its heart one about immense grief and how people process it differently. I've heard this book compared to Eat, Pray, Love (which I've never read but heard the criticisms of) and I think if you view this book as another travel memoir, it misses a lot of the main heart of the story and what Cheryl Strayed was going through at the time. I think having gone through a very similar thing (mom dying suddenly of cancer) made this book incredibly more relatable and understandable.

Audiobook narrator: 5 stars. Would listen to Bernadette Dunne read 100 more books in a heartbeat.

Could have done without the horrific, graphic animal death. Otherwise really enjoyed, esp the author’s processing of grief losing a parent young.

I thought that this was a really interesting book about one women’s journey into the wilderness, to kind of save herself.

The hiking portion of the book was super inspiring! She was wicked badass even if some of the mistakes she made were anxiety inducing. Also great to see how mostly the hiking community treated her. 

 For the non-hiking parts of the book, I was always surprised at what she was thinking and doing. While I did not agree with the choices that she made, she was in pain and was looking to do what she needed to do at the time. Interesting to get to see how other people wildly different than you think.

While I’m not sure I would be friends with Cheryl in real life, I understand some of her mindset and (lack of) logical thinking. I have also been someone in their 20’s who lost a parent, no, their beacon, which set you in a path of bad choices endlessly reaching to be on the other side of lost. Unlike Cheryl, I did not decide to go (unprepared) on an a backpacking trip. Yes this is the story of said trip but it’s more the story of finding yourself where one might get lost.
