The Hike by Drew Magary

4.0

Kind of like a coming of age story for adults. Full of horror and confusion and physical and emotional gut punches, this was a wild ride that never managed to stray too far from what feels possible (at least, possible to those familiar with fairy tales and video games and folklore). Highly recommend to anyone looking for a strange new read with a satisfying conclusion.

I love that he gets home to realize that his wife went through the hike herself years earlier. It added such a thrill because now, they more deeply understand each other, but it also makes the reader feel like their turn on the hike is just a matter of time.
