Thru-Hiking Will Break Your Heart

The memoir feels deeply honest and vulnerable. I'm curious what motivated Carrot Quinn to open up about the emotional toll of long-distance hiking.

The descriptions of the trail and the challenges faced made me root for the author, but also left me wondering how much of it was drawn from real experience versus storytelling flair.

Some parts felt intensely detailed while others skipped over events. I'm interested in what guided the choices of what to include or omit in the story.
