Be Not Far from Me by Mindy McGinnis

3.0

I’m having some trouble rating this one. I enjoyed the survival aspect and I liked the writing style a lot. Having just hiked a small portion of the AT a few days ago I can tell you that the description of the wilderness/trail is pretty accurate. I also enjoyed that the author let the MCs accent/dialect shine through in many of the spots. BUT, I absolutely could not stand the MCs “I’m not like other girls” complex. It was frustrating and makes her incredibly dislikable. The character development at the end seemed to solve some of those issues though.
