A story of the nature of life and all that it entails of beginnings, endings, and beginnings ever again. A lot of natural world survival descriptions that I had to look up throughout, other than that a very easy read. Much of the survival narrative I believe is meant to illustrate the nature of living and growing into the point of wisdom of life on earth. We are all interconnected and never alone, even when we feel like we are. Life is all around us. I think the bear is the girl herself, but I’m not entirely sure yet.

Solid! Was unsure for the first 100 pages or so, but the second half made it worth it. Had its high points and its low points, didn’t love the prose (though I appreciated what it was going for), but overall I enjoyed it. Great ending.
