Meh. I figured I'd try it out, but I just don't think I'm a fan of this type of book. I like thrillers, but I don't particularly enjoy the story of young girls who have NEVER hiked before deciding to do a spur of the moment backpacking trip. They laugh about how they can barely carry their borrowed packs, and yet they still keep going. Of course, bad things happen, but I just didn't care. I had the audiobook book on 2x speed as I was getting things done the last few days. Now I know this genre isn't really my thing!
