I love her humor and talent.

I wish I could meet this author in person. I can relate to her on so many levels. I would love to have the fearless courage to do what she did! I highly recommend this book!

so relatable!

Her inner talk makes me realize I'm not the only one thinking these crazy things. Great story of fortitude through the common throws of weightloss and goal of something that scares you. Great reading. I wished it hadn't ended - I coulda heard more! If the title intrigues you even a little, just get it! Won't disappoint.

Loved it

Loved the story and so relatable regarding goals and fear and self sabotage. It made you emotional and reflected and made you laugh out loud. What an adventure. I also enjoyed the narration, it felt like it fit the subject.

fluff and unrelated content

took 3/4 of the book to get to the hike! really annoying ! all she does is question herself, doubt herself, and rehearse worst case scenarios. The whole book is her being needy,changing her mind,being all over the map, and going off on unrelated content.She's constantly requiring a ton of reassurance.I thought the book was a memoir of a hike but only the last small section was.Disappointing.
