Parts of this book were triggering for me as I lost my dad, and the grief Atlas/Maps goes through is told so open and honestly. I absolutely loved this book, though. Her found family in Books, Junior, and Sugar was so special and reading about all their endeavours whilst hiking the Western Sierra Trail. Maps with her tent skills and Sugar with her cooking, it was funny and believable. I loved the romance that was built up between Maps and King, and I felt like there was hope for Maps when she felt so lost and alone. The ending was spot on for me, especially the cemetery scene, I had all the feels!
