 This is such an emotional story. I am a sucker for wilderness survival story but when you throw in a revenge plot... Instant five stars for me. I loved that this story took the wilderness survival story and added another layer with Jess already being injured from a previous accident. There wasn't a moment I wanted to put this book down. Such a captivating story!

I've always been a sucker for a good survival story, and this one delivers.

Jess Cooper is a teenager recovering from a serious car accident that left her with limited mobility in one leg. She comes to stay with her off-the-grid father, and without giving away any spoilers, is left to face the wilderness on her own.

The story is told in an interleaved collection of "before" (primarily flashbacks of events that led her into this predicament) and "after" chapters. Half-way through the book, the tone changes, with before and after melding together into one. This was well-done and very engaging. Overall, I grew to really care for Jess and root for her and her dog to make it.

I read the summary and thought hey, this is actually really interesting and creative. And it did not miss. 

It's true that it can get a bit repetitive for some people, but I personally didn't mind it, I enjoyed reading about her little adventures around the forest and all the things she had to do to survive. I wouldn't read it again and not sure if I'd recommend it to someone else unless they're looking for something similar to this, but I give it 3 stars cause I enjoyed the story, even if the plot wasn't too much or exciting.
