Adventures in Opting Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life by Cait Flanders

2.0

I adored Year of Less and preordered the audio of this one because I was so excited. But. I get what she was trying to do with the hiking analogy format but it didn’t work at ALL for me. I so wanted this to be a memoir and not a how-to guide - she even admitted at the end that all of this big stuff had happened to her during the time period in which the book is set but didn’t discuss it in the book because it didn’t fit the format. I wish an editor had realized how much powerful it could have been in a different format. I hope to read more from Flanders in the future.
