4.0

I was expecting a light read about dog sledding and Arctic adventure, but this memoir also includes some heavy topics, such as sexual assault. At times the narrative is confusing, moving from one place and time to another without clear markers, but I suppose the Arctic trails aren't any more obvious! This would be a great book for high schoolers, to replace the "coming of age" genre (a lá Catcher in the Rye) with a new type of book, about a woman realizing she doesn't have to put with shit from men.
