I enjoyed the descriptions of thr girls relationship and their attempts at hiking for the first time. The actual plot, climax, and denouement is really unrealistic and uninspired. One dimensional villainy. It was a breeze to read through though.

Two girls who know nothing about the outdoors decide to go backpacking, fight the entire time, then get chased by stereotypical "evil hillbillies" who want to SA and kill them. This was an aggravating read and I wish I DNF-ed it

5.0

SPECTACULAR!!!! This book was absolutely gripping. The first 100 pages seem long and pointless but they place wonderful hints that you don’t notice until after the book. This book was gory, horrifying, and gripping. I could not put it down. I will remember this book and ‘There’s Someone Inside Your House’ with the egg timer. This book is so remarkably unique and I’m intrigued and terrified to see what else Stephanie Perkins cooks up!

Book was horribly written the start of the book is just whiny teenagers going on a hike before college. The author took forever to even get to what the story is about. Basically you might as well just watch the hills have eyes because that’s 10x better then this book. The author completely tried to go for the Hills have Eyes plot and failed miserably.

I was not exactly sure what this book was going to be about, or rather I wasn’t sure who the bad guy was supposed to be. I assumed it might be supernatural kind of story but I loved that it was “real.” I found both Neena and Josie extremely relatable as I’ve gone through similar growing pains in friendships. I could not put this book down and I really did enjoy it!
