Loved this! It got a bit slow at times, and felt a bit unrealistic (HOW on earth did she go from no backpacking experience ever to 6 months on the PCT? what the heck?) but as a backpacker i loved Cheryl’s story and motivation for doing it. Makes me wanna hike the PCT myself

Dear Wild,
I have been a fan of Cheryl Strayed for a long time. I really love her story, and was surprised at how much her journey resonated with me. I was so surprised at how much I could relate with her path through the mountains. Your writing was lyrical and deep and I really loved losing along myself with Cheryl on the PCT.

Ah, jammer. Het boek is afgelopen. Ik heb het nog uitgesteld want ik wilde niet dat er een einde kwam aan onze reis. Die van Cheryl en mij. Samen de PCT hiken. Want zo voelde het, alsof we die samen liepen (alleen lag ik ondertussen comfortabel op de bank, ach klein detail). Met een vriendin die alles open en eerlijk met me deelde. Ook de minder fraaie dingen uit haar leven en kanten van zichzelf waar ze niet zo trots op is. Zoals hele goede vriendinnen dat doen.

Read it at a moment where i probably needed to read a boo like this. You feel really attached to cheryll and her journey is inspiring while yet being realistic, she does not sugarcoat.

I enjoyed this book! I found the author’s journey hiking the PCT fascinating and can only imagine how she felt experiencing some of the escapades she talked about in the book. As a story, i thoroughly enjoyed it!
For the inspirational, life changing reputation this book has, I didn’t find it all THAT moving. I think what she accomplished is incredible and something not everyone can do, but I didn’t really learn anything from her and her journey (and I’m a bit confused on what she learned about herself that was so life changing) but I could never do what she did so who am I to judge.
Overall I appreciate this book for the adventure it took me on and making me feel like I was on the trail too!
