Even though I haven’t read the whole book, I have been so absorbed into Strayed’s story. I loved her writing style and how she was being so frank about her marriage, family, mother’s death and her twisted cheating with other men. Even though I could predict how her story is going to be –a women so stressed about her mundane life going on an adventure on PCT, encountering random people and learning a lesson- I loved how she was so honest describing every detail. Especially when I read about the part, in which she got lost in her life when her mother died, I became her and was so absorbed into her that I felt like I would be in the exact same position if I had lost my mom too. My heart was pumping and bumping to imagine how my dearest Mother, my best friend, the person who has been with me for my entire life could die in so sudden –and how I could not be next to her for her last moment. When I was reading, she really touched me inside. And I cannot wait to read rest of her book and see how she could touch me sentimentally to the deepest bottom of my heart.
