💭 Thoughts:
I loved the multiple POVs from each of the women. They were well thought out and provided the right amount of background and character development to invest in each of their internal struggles. 

The Hike had me completely captivated with its short chapters and a creepy isolated setting. I've never been hiking before and now I probably never will. 🫣 The tension really builds towards the last third of the book, when a vicious storm rolls in, directing the story down more of an action/survival path. While one of the main reveals wasn't all that shocking to me, there were plenty of other twists that raised my eyebrows, and an ending that I did not predict. 😱
