Description
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS BOOK:
1. The main character is queer
2. While there is no sex in the book, there is some making out, especially towards the end
3. There are swear words
I can't believe it's the year 2015, and I still have to give this warning. But Amazon is its own special world, isn't it? Read the sample Amazon provides- it gives you a nice idea of the tone of the book. And consider yourself warned, dear potential one-star reviewer.
Carrot Quinn fears that she's become addicted to the internet. The city makes her numb, and she's having trouble connecting with others. In a desperate move she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It will be her first long-distance hike.
In the desert of Southern California Carrot faces many challenges, both physical and emotional: pain, injury, blisters, aching cold and searing heat, dehydration, exhaustion, loneliness. In the wilderness she happens upon and becomes close with an eclectic group of strangers- people she wouldn't have chanced to meet in the “regular world†but who are brought together, here on the trail, by their one common goal: make it to Canada before the snow flies.
