Why read it?
1 author picked A Blistered Kind of Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is a monumental undertaking for anyone—but trying to do it with your spouse takes it to another level. I love this memoir because it alternates perspective between husband and wife, revealing how two people can hike the same trail at the same time and experience the same things totally differently. I’ve often found that after a trip with my husband when we compare notes it can seem like we weren’t even on the same trip! It’s a great he-said-she-said tale of adventure.
From Michelle's list on real-life stories to inspire your camping adventure.
