Honestly was not expecting to like this as much as I did. This was entertaining, funny, and pretty quick in pace. It was challenging, candid, and such a varied and interesting story. I will say, there were some moments that were pretty graphic and I wish it wasn’t so, but I was thankful for the author’s blatant honesty in the rest of the book. Definitely check the content warnings.

It feels like some of it is  fabricated/exaggerated.

Not sure what to think of the portrayals of sex and desire - are they candid or authentic or crass or hyperbolic? 

I did, however, appreciate how every interaction with a man on the trail felt tense because that’s how it feels to be a woman. However, as a woman reading this, it was exhausting. 

If you’ve got family stuff, know it’s central to the book.
