Cherly made one mistake after another, very idiotic and avoidable mistakes, but she is such a charming narrator, I couldn't help but feel for her. I couldn't help but to relate. This book hits very hard, right at the feels. I felt the author's insecurities, the author's fear and shame.
The journey is told in such great detail I couldn't help but to feel there, it only made my want to go there. Although, better prepared. This is not a guide on what to do, this is a guide on what not to do, but also the deep and naked feelings of a woman in turmoil. I felt her anguish, but also her relentless optimism, I felt her ups and downs and her sorrows and laughs.
Reading this book felt almost as cathartic as Cheryl's journey, and it only inspired me to treck the PCT one day, hopefully soon. I highly recommend this book.
