Did you like the book? Why? I really enjoyed this novel. Cheryl was very truthful in her writing, which I was not expecting to be honest. You read in some summaries that the author dealt with drugs or loss but they totally bypass it in their novel, Cheryl does not which is what really drew me into it. She is very detailed - and either has an eidetic memory or documented everything along her way (the way the Earth felt, the trees moved, how the people she met made her feel) to be able to put that much heart and soul into her story.
Was this book made into a movie? Yes it was. Released in 2014 and starred Reese Witherspoon (played Cheryl Strayed) and Laura Dern (played Bobbi, Cheryl's mother) as the main titled actors.
Would you recommend it? To anyone who likes reading biographies and/or anyone who has felt lost in their life this is a great read for you.
