32 posts | 25 read | 53 to read
Cheryl Strayed's Wild meets The Revenant in this heart-pounding story of survival and revenge in the unforgiving wilderness. Jess is stranded in the woods. She has few supplies and only her dog for company. Her survival skills are limited, and she has disabilities that make physical labor a challenge. And winter is on its way. How did she get here? Alternating between the past and the present, this tightly-paced novel tells the story of a girl who survived a car crash that killed her mother, then was pulled from foster care and sent to live with her estranged survivalist father in the remote Canadian wilderness. Jess was just beginning to get to know her dad when a secret from his past paid them a visit, leaving their cabin burned to the ground and Jess's father dead. Now, Jess must fight with everything she has to forage and hunt for food, build shelter, and keep herself warm. But she will survive. She has to survive. Because she wants revenge.

After being badly injured in the car wreck that killed her mom, Jess is sent to live with the father she barely knows in the far north of Canada. When the unthinkable happens, she has to figure out how to survive the wilderness. Great, quick read with lots of tension.

3.75/5 stars. Reading it with my students and it‘s been a hit but some chapters are a little bland.

🎉55th book of the year = reading goal met!🎉 This was a neat little survival story, with some thriller undertones, and a pretty quick read. The protagonist, Jess, garners sympathy from the beginning, and kept me invested even though the initial pace was a bit slow.

This book has all the suspense! After a car accident that left her mom dead & herself injured, Jess is sent to live with her father in the extreme northern wilderness. She barely knows him & doesn't want to be there. But after he dies, leaving her stranded, disabled, & alone, with the harsh winter coming, Jess is forced to fend for her own survival - or die trying. I really enjoyed most, but not all, of this book. Worth a read but brace yourself.

Tera66 This sounds so good!😳 4y

I just noticed that I haven‘t posted in a couple of months...this semester I took on 5 classes and though I‘m an education major with an emphasis on 7-12 English, I don‘t have any time for reading (for fun). I have 3 1/2 weeks left and then I‘ll enjoy my month off before starting the madness over again! I just wanted to check in and let ya‘ll know I‘m still kicking...In case anyone was curious...😊😊😊

Chrissyreadit School def decreases reading- and that is ironic. Hope your enjoying your classes. 4y
Clare-Dragonfly Oof, sounds like a lot of work! Thanks for letting us know you‘re okay! 4y
AshleyHoss820 @Chrissyreadit Isn‘t it!? I had to retake English 101, but it‘s been helpful! Adolescent lit and British lit have been great! Teaching in a Democratic Society has been so-so. American Politics has been *incredibly* helpful and informative, but I picked the wrong year to take a politics class. 🤣😄 4y

AshleyHoss820 @Clare-Dragonfly It really is, but I want to graduate like YESTERDAY, so I‘m trying to speed up the process the best I can. I‘m allowed to take 6 courses, but that is WAY too much. I was still getting notifications for new follows and I thought, I hope no one thinks I dropped off the map! 😊 I miss my Litsy community! ❤️📚 4y

Don't get me wrong, this is a great book with an amazing plot and engaging storyline. However, it's not for me. I found that I was constantly bored with all the survival elements, and wished the story was more engaging with the character's past. Which is why I rate it a 5/10. Personally not for me, but I would recommend to people who like survival stories, and enjoy violence as well as nature.

This was by far one of my favorite books. One thing I really loved about this book was the survival plot it was amazing to see Jess overcome so many challenges that got thrown at her. Another thing I liked about the book was the search for revenge I really think that it made the book ten times better. I recommend this book for young adults who want a addicting and suspenseful read.

Between a Pick and a So-So. MY RATING⇢ 3¾ STARS

At its heart, this is a survival story, but it also has a subplot consisting of revenge. The narration by Amy McFadden is excellent, and I definitely recommend this in Audio format.

This is a great survival story. It‘s dark and grim, including murder, but it‘s also a story about a tough teenage girl who refuses to give up when she ends up alone in the Canadian wilderness. There‘s also a revenge subplot, but the main emphasis was the survival story.

@Patchshank I mailed the next #LMPBC book this morning. It should be there Wednesday. I also learned that you can mail baby chicks through the mail. Three sounded so cute!

Patchshank Sorry I just saw this. I got it. Baby chicks sound adorable. I'll take 5. 🐣🐤🐥 I'll see if Amazon sells them. I hope they're prime eligible 🤞🤞🤞 6y
Lovesbooks87 @Patchshank it's all good. Glad it made it to you! I am sure Amazon sells them! Lol! 6y
Patchshank I looked. They don't sell chicks, but they do sell fertilized hatching eggs. Not prime eligible ☹️ 6y

I‘m considering bailing. I really like the story, and the audio is good. But....I really like the dog and I have a bad feeling. I don‘t know anything, so this isn‘t a spoiler, just anxiety. Should I keep reading???

BridgetteM According to doesthedogdie.com, yes you should stop reading. 6y

I don't want to say too much because this is my #LMPBC book and I don't want to get anything about. But it was so good. It was intense and heartbreaking. It had me on the edge of my seat almost the whole time. Great pick Erika! Can't wait to hear what everyone else thinks of it!

EH2018 I thought it was so well done! 6y

Marshall‘s thrilling tale is also a deeply moving story about coming to terms with imperfections (both in oneself and in others) and about finding true resourcefulness and inner strength.
