Wild is a memoir that tells of Cheryl Strayed hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in order to fix her mess of a life. It's a story about resilience, forgiveness, and blisters. Like, a lot of blisters, and a variety of other physical ailments. Jenna reminds us of some sad scenes. Megan longs for Snapple lemonade. We consider whether this kind of venture will always result in personal epiphany.

Content warning: this story deals with heavy themes that we discuss throughout, including drug use, death (of people and animals), and the potential threat of sexual assault.
