I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review


Wini, Pia, Rachel and Sandra think they are getting away from the daily drudgery of normal life when they take a trip to Maine to white water raft. However, a tough trip to the outdoors becomes a nightmare when disaster strikes and the women are left alone to survive in the wilderness.

This was a really thrilling read and by the time the book really got into the women’s survival journey I just couldn’t put it down. I read this in one sitting!

I really loved that this survival story focused on a group of women in their late 30s rather than a group of men and a group in their early 20s.The women had a 15 year friendship between them which meant they were able to work together but also knew each other moods and were able to easily deal with each other’s freak outs at, at times, hard works. Win is the main character and she definitely got a lot of development throughout. She was meek and scared at the start and I definitely felt she was a stronger, more confident woman by the end of the novel.

This book got quite dark and twisty at one point with the entry of two new character who I wasn’t expecting at all. It turned the book from a survival/adventure story into a thriller and it really had me on the edge of my seat.

I think this would make a great movie with some bad-ass older actresses rocking the roles and the wilderness!
