it was ok

This could have been so much better, but the author was repetitive, boring, and self absorbed. I'm a big fan the thru-hiking story genre, but this one was really lacking. Maybe part of it is that the genre of "girl who doesn't think much of herself, but proves everyone wrong" is a bit played out, or maybe its because she constantly takes incredibly unnecessary risks and just happens to not die, but I just didn't get invested in this story. Thankfully it's one of the shorter books I've read in the genre because if it had been twice as long I'd probably have scrapped it and moved onto another book. The author just isn't all that likeable and while she clearly had some major turmoil in her personal life prior to the hike, she doesn't deeply delve into it skirts around the conflicts while trying to tell us all how incredibly unlikely her journey is.
