SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
The world is not tame.
Ashley knows this truth deep in her bones, more at home with trees overhead than a roof. So when she goes hiking in the Smokies with her friends for a night of partying, the falling dark and creaking trees are second nature to her. But people are not tame either. And when Ashley catches her boyfriend with another girl, drunken rage sends her running into the night, stopped only by a nasty fall into a ravine. Morning brings the realization that she's alone - and far off-trail. Lost in undisturbed forest and with nothing but the clothes on her back, Ashley must figure out how to survive despite the red streak of infection creeping up her leg.

MY THOUGHTS⇣
A gruesome tale of survival, filled with misadventure and ruminations about life. I haven't listened to a Mindy McGinnis book, yet, that I didn't enjoy. Her books are so varied and move between genres seamlessly. So far, I've consumed a dystopian duo about water shortage, and a stand-alone about heroin addiction, and now this.
Ashley (the MC) is badass...once you read this...I don't know how you cannot realize that about her. She also doesn't always make the best life choices, but when it comes down to it, she's does own them. My only question after listening to this...can a person really get that lost and off the grid and not see someone for that length of time? I've never been to the smokies, or even near them, so I guess I don't know if they are really that vast.
This story is super graphic, with some scenes that will make you cringe, but it moves along at a quick pace. The narration by Brittany Pressley is terrific...I really like her as a narrator...for me, her voice is perfect, not too high pitched or shrill and not too nasally either.
