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.

Cheryl Strayed is a badass Pacific Crest Trail queen! And yet, she's also a complex human with thoughts and feelings and doubts and struggles. The power of Cheryl Strayed is that she manages to convey all this with the most understanding and humanity I think I've ever witnessed in another person. In this memoir, she expertly weaves her experience hiking the PCT — complete with all its hardships and triumphs, interesting and transformative moments — with her ruminations on everything that led her to that fateful summer. Being taken on that journey alongside her was truly a privilege, and I will always respect her for that. This was a powerful, powerful book, and I can't imagine not recommending it for years to come.
