I think I now understand the rating on this book. Definitely not my favorite Kate Alice Marshall book. And I probably should have read the trigger warnings/they weren't specific enough to cover what I needed.

A death of a pet is worse for me than hunting animals to stay alive this book has both.

While reading the first half of the book, I thought Jess was whiney and annoying - the "woe is me" type. And I didn't really care for the anti-God remarks from her dad. The second half of the book, I was more worried about the dog, because he was the only character I actually liked. It's a survival story, but not one of my favorites.

3.0

I read the summary and thought hey, this is actually really interesting and creative. And it did not miss. 

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.
