Post-divorce, Helen signs up for a
wilderness survival course to find herself. She’s disappointed when the company isn’t what she imagined, but three weeks of hardship has a way of changing people.
After enjoying some of Center’s recent books, I checked her backlist but didn’t find anything that appealed to me. Seeing Netflix adapted this book, I thought I’d give it a try and I’m so glad I did! It’s very well written, the characters have a lot of substance, and it’s not too cliché. This isn’t a book I thought I’d like but I sped through it and miss the characters already.
