A review by emclarke
The Hike by Lucy Clarke

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

The book was ok but I did see the conclusion coming and the overall message is kinda gross -

Spoiler

that the single childfree woman is the expendable one for the plot and of course the woman who had previously not wanted kids ended up with one after all

 

Formulaic and obvious, and reeks of internalised misogyny to me.
