Slow to start for the first bit, but I was rewarded when it took me on a wild ride by around the halfway point to the end. It gets CRAZY.

Some triggering content throughout, but not what I would consider excessive since it fit the genre. Really good. Great book club book, gave us great discussion material.

This was a book club read and I went into it pretty hopeful, but found the overall book pretty disappointing.

First, the good: it is a really fast read, I finished over the course of just a few days. It reads more as a memoir. That’s all I have to say about that.

Now, the rest: the performance was really dry and monotone. The third person reading with authors reading each others’ parts - it was difficult to keep up with and put me off.
Their friendship sounds kind of exhausting and one-sided, I just don’t see the chemistry from what was in this book and I’m certainly not jumping at the chance to listen to their podcast. I kept hearing them describe themselves as hysterically funny, but I found zero comedy - or really ANY emotional depth throughout the book.

Their life experiences don’t seem relatable, even as their target demographic (maybe? I’m their age, anyway). Sorry, can’t relate to your idea of “surviving the economic crash right out of college” with a six-figure job, job that sponsors your visa, or the plethora of traveling and indulgent girls’ trips. And only six years of friendship before they turn to a couples counselor? Hmm. Ok.

Ultimately, good for them - but I learned nothing from this book that would benefit my actual relationships.

The best thing about this book is that it provided an abundance of discussion for my book club.

This book was everything. My book club read it last summer and it has stayed with me ever since. It’s like a high we have been chasing but can never seem to reach again.

This read had me homesick for the trail! I enjoyed living vicariously through Anish’s adventures. It was raw, real, painful, suspenseful, beautiful - a journey of digging down and finding the grit to keep going and not only discovering self, but learning to love self, too. I felt like I was there hiking beside her. Ended in happy tears. Highly recommend.
