Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North by Blair Braverman

4.0

i love reading stories, fictional or factual, about wilderness and the frozen climate. i thought this was going to be a different book, honestly, one more technical and surface level in its recollection of adventures in the north. i'm glad i was wrong though. this book is a lot more personal than that. braverman isn't relaying the typical adventures in the wilderness. her stories are honest and deeply personal; this book feels like an exercise in bravery and reclaiming her body and her memories and experience. it's a really incredible, thoughtful read.
