by Jessi Kirby
Growing up cousins Mari and Bri were close and even shared the same birthday. As they grew older, the pair drifted apart; Mari obsessed with posting on Instagram, appearing to have a perfect life while Bri continued to enjoy the outdoors they both used to love. When Bri passes away before their 18th birthday, Mari doesn’t know how to deal. Her life is thrown for a loop when on her birthday she posts a confessional video about how all her posts were fake and quits social media. Then a box arrives from her aunt containing Bri’s supplies to hike the John Muir Trail, a hike the girls once planned to do together. Mari decides to honor her cousin and do the hike alone. On her journey, Mari makes new friends, discovers new things. and most importantly learns about herself.
Mari may bother readers in the beginning but over the course of the story, they will come to love her. The characters she meets along the trail add a wonderful addition to her story. Readers may be surprised just how this book will inspire them. A wonderful story of self-discovery and personal growth.
Just a side note, Miss. Amanda loved this so much she finished it in a day.
