I can't really decide what I think of this book. 
 Initially, the author's mother died, and her grief caused her to decide it was OK to do a lot of horrible things, making her break up her marriage, friendships, and then start spiralling out of control. While I feel sympathy for her loss, I could only be angry with the terrible choices she made, and I found it very hard to keep reading. 
 However, I really liked the rest of the book, which was about her time hiking 1100 miles on the Pacific Coast Trail by herself. 
 1. She had never hiked before 
 2. She was a SOLO WOMAN hiking for months 
 3. She had very little money 
 4. There were wild animals (bears, snakes, etc) 
 5. There was bad weather 
 6. Her pack was HEAVY 
 7. She injured herself 
 8. She got lost 
 I could go on. I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for her achievement. This is something I could never do, and if I tried I would die (I'm not joking. I would not survive this). 
 So because I could not decide between the parts of the book I liked and the parts that infuriated me, I've given it three stars. It is an honest and interesting book.
