Be Not Far from Me by Mindy McGinnis

5.0

I LOVED this book! Yes, there are some gruesome scenes you would expect with survival in the woods, so know that going in. But this book was everything I hoped it would be which is: a more modern young/new adult Hatchet with a well developed main character who I cared about. The amount of plot and back story Mindy McGinnis wove into this <300 page book was incredible. I was invested in Ashley’s personal growth and physical and mental journey. Her courage was INSPIRING. I laughed and cried which always tells me I’ve read a GREAT book.
