My thoughts-
When I first learned and read the description for this book, I thought it was nonfiction. I thought this, because I thought I had heard of this really happening. It seemed like something that would really happen.
I liked how this was novel was written from the perspectives of Jenna, Vicky, and Ireland. If the reader would have only had the view of one of the characters, the story would haven’t been as rich. I also wouldn’t have had the chance to relate to the three women. I was able to learn more about them and see myself in them.
The questions at the end were some of the most thought-provoking that I have read in a fiction book. They didn’t just involve the characters, they involved me and what I would do in the situations. I appreciated that, because I was able to think about myself in ways that I haven’t before.
I thought this book had a lot of action and ideas that I hadn’t thought of before. It made me wonder if I could survive lost in the wilderness. It would be nice to know if it was based partially on a true story.
I recommend.
