Carrot Quinn
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: to make it to Canada before the snow flies.

"Bam! Bam! Bam!" "Hike, Hike, Hike"."What is a mountain? Who are these people? What does it even mean?"Carrot has an annoying tendency to repeat the same word 3 times too often and keeps asking herself silly rhetorical question over and over again.If it doesn't bother you too much, it's a fantastic book and I recommend that you shall read it, read it, read it.If it doesn't bother you too much, it's a fanta... you get the pointAnnoyingly great book

That means the writing was natural and felt genuine. This was a journal of sort of the hiker, Carrot Quinn. She was honest and told the good and the bad of her travels. There were times that I laughed out loud at what happened. And there were tears of seeing the incredible scenery and tears of hurt along the way.
I have to admit I want to do this. But it seems so far away from possible when just getting the dog and I out for our mile walk is tough. A windy day will keep us in. Rain is my dog's least favorite. She won't go out, yet I have the raincoat and boots and plenty of umbrellas. Snow is my favorite, but my dog can't handle it very long, even with coat and pad coverings, so we walk around the yard. So much for my trek.
So it is fun to live vicariously through those who do the long hikes or marathons. Inspiration helps with daily life and gives hope for more.
I want to read this again soon.

Another non-content issue was the long chapters. For audio books I personally prefer shorter ones to keep from occasionally losing my place :)
Good, be aware of some sensual details

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend. I loved her style, her vulnerability and honesty. It makes we want to hike like that, to just be free and shine a light on who I truly am at the heart with all the other stuff around me far away.Who was your favorite character and why?
Carrot of course.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, not all at once, this is a long and slow listen, just like the hike.Inspiring and Honest
