adventurous emotional funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Just an absolutely astounding book that I wholly enjoyed cover to cover. Strayed’s writing is incredibly beautiful, eloquent, and entranced me with visions of her journey and life. Despite the descriptions of how hard the PCT is, her experience has only made me want to hike it more.

Truly a fantastic book, I would recommend this to anyone!

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.
