A year after getting divorced, Helen Carpenter, thirty-two, lets her annoying, ten years younger brother talk her into signing up for a wilderness survival course. It's supposed to be a chance for her to pull herself together again, but when she discovers that her brother's even-more-annoying best friend is also coming on the trip, she can't imagine how it will be anything other than a disaster. Thus begins the strangest adventure of Helen's well-behaved life: three weeks in the remotest wilderness of a mountain range in Wyoming where she will survive mosquito infestations, a surprise summer blizzard, and a group of sorority girls.
Yet, despite everything, the vast wilderness has a way of making Helen's own little life seem bigger, too. And, somehow the people who annoy her the most start teaching her the very things she needs to learn. Like how to stand up for herself. And how being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes you just have to get really, really lost before you can even have a hope of being found.

I waited a little while for this book as it seemed quite popular on my audiobook app. I had a little bit harder time getting into this one compared to other Katherine Center books I had read. But it really kicked in when the romance aspects starting kicking in and then in the wilderness I liked it. I am not an avid hiker & wouldn't do this hike like ever, but it seemed to really work for her and Jake. So if you like Katherine Center, I would definitely add this one to the list of to-read.
