Jess Cooper is a teenager recovering from a serious car accident that left her with limited mobility in one leg. She comes to stay with her off-the-grid father, and without giving away any spoilers, is left to face the wilderness on her own.
The story is told in an interleaved collection of "before" (primarily flashbacks of events that led her into this predicament) and "after" chapters. Half-way through the book, the tone changes, with before and after melding together into one. This was well-done and very engaging. Overall, I grew to really care for Jess and root for her and her dog to make it.

It's true that it can get a bit repetitive for some people, but I personally didn't mind it, I enjoyed reading about her little adventures around the forest and all the things she had to do to survive. I wouldn't read it again and not sure if I'd recommend it to someone else unless they're looking for something similar to this, but I give it 3 stars cause I enjoyed the story, even if the plot wasn't too much or exciting.
