I gave this book a try, but something about the sparse writing style and the characters who had lifestyles so different from mine didn't draw me in. It's not something that I would recommend, and I DNF'd. This is one of those books that will stay with me for a long while. The main character, Denny, is such an oddball person. Unlikable, yet I found myself hoping for only the best for her. I lost my mom and dad but not at a young age. Its hard. I dont know what to say. I've read a few scattered reviews (I need to check Goodreads, the Mack Daddy) where it was pointed out that it was humorous. I didn't pick up on any humor, just tremendous sadness and outright recklessness. I suppose this ( to the millennials could be considered funny) but I was reading about one fucked up girl. I think that I was fooled into thinking her foray into the woods would be something close to enlightenment. But it quickly became apparent it was frightening and very scary. I'm giving it 4 stars because even though the story upset me , it was well written and thought provoking. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
For ten years, Denny's father has battled cancer. The drawn-out loss has forged Denny into a dazed, antisocial young woman. On the clock, she works as a lab tech, readying fruit flies for experimentation. In her spare time, only her parents, an aggressively kind best friend, and her blowhard imaginary pal Gene--who she knows isn't real--ornament her stale days in the DC suburbs. Now her father's cancer is back for a third time, and he's rejecting treatment. Denny's transgressive reaction is to flee. She begins to dismantle her life, constructing in its place the fantasy of perfect detachment. Unsure whether the impulse is monastic or suicidal, she rents a secluded cabin in the mountains. When she discovers life in the wilderness isn't the perfect detachment she was expecting--and that she isn't as alone as she'd hoped--Denny is forced to reckon with this failure while confronting a new life with its own set of pleasures and dangerous incursions.
