The Great Alone is a book about love, family, heartbreak, forgiveness. It is painfully raw and doesn't hold back. I cried quite a few times and could see bits of the characters' stories through out my own life story.

nrogers_1030's review against another edition

I didn't care for *any* of the characters except Large Marge so I've had trouble sticking with the book. 
Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️
