America the Beautiful? One Woman in a Borrowed Prius on the Road Most Travelled by Blythe Roberson
3.0
2.5-3 stars - I am not the target audience. The author is a seemingly younger millennial comedian, and I am not. She's also really horny and talks about it and her hetero love of men a lot more than I would expect in a book that presents itself to be about traveling solo to National Parks as a woman.
I actually don't know what the point of this book was. Besides collecting a lot of Jr Ranger badges. It reads like a journal when the author is working out some things (traveling for leisure, capitalism, environmentalism, how to exist in the world, etc) and trying to decide how she feels about them while also existing in the pre-2020s but then makes references to the 2020s so the timeframe is a little wonky.
It's not a very long trip but she does pack in the Parks. This is for a very specific audience of young, white, privileged liberal women.
