adventurous challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

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.

3.5

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.
