I'm not sure why I didn't see the ending coming. The book is from Lee's point of view as she walks you through her entire survival story. The flashbacks were interesting, but got to be a bit much. The two main characters barely know each other; but go off on an adventure together - backpackers are a whole different breed. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire book. 

I was given a copy of this story to read; but thoughts and opinions are all my own. Thank you to Netgalley and Skyhorse Publishing for the chance to read this book!
