I thought that this was a really interesting book about one women’s journey into the wilderness, to kind of save herself.
The hiking portion of the book was super inspiring! She was wicked badass even if some of the mistakes she made were anxiety inducing. Also great to see how mostly the hiking community treated her.
For the non-hiking parts of the book, I was always surprised at what she was thinking and doing. While I did not agree with the choices that she made, she was in pain and was looking to do what she needed to do at the time. Interesting to get to see how other people wildly different than you think.
