this is a memoir where all i can really say is that im so glad cheryl was so open with her life in this book, giving us readers such an intimate look into her story as she took us all along with her on the pacific crest trail.

This book is beloved for a reason. I definitely cried at the end, despite it being my second time reading it.

I loved this story, it was a bit entirely what I expected, and I thought multiple times over “what were you thinking?!”, but it was an interesting and different read. The author wasn’t super likable to me,  and she has some really dark thoughts that she doesn’t hold back. I could see someone not liking the book as well if they just don’t like Cheryl and wanted a more likable person to read about.

I listened to this book in German and it was a perfect companion as I was backpacking for two weeks with my boyfriend. Her stories of family, self-discovery and adventure accompanied us on our bus journeys and has inspired us to go on a longer hike!
