Review:
"The Middle of Somewhere" by Sonja Yoerg
What I liked about this novel.....
I enjoyed this novel was a personal story of Liz Kroft who was a 29 year old engineer, a widow and one who had a rather hard past. Now she wondered would she be capable of ever having a 'happy life.' This author really presents the reader with a interesting story as Liz takes a 18 day backpacking journey on the 'John Muir' trail in the western part of the US. Would Liz be able to find the 'truer life' that she needed since she was carrying some well kept secrets over past actions? From the read the reader will be given a character study of Liz that turns out to be quite a adventure, thriller and even a love story. I found this story will be filled with a lots of flashbacks that really helps the reader understand a lots about Liz who was strong, liked and very independent. The story will also be about Dante[Liz's boyfriend] who goes with Liz on a great portion of the journey as they will run into some rather perilous suspenseful situations. I found this story a really compelling read that kept my interest and I found it hard to put down until the very end. Wow, what research this author had to do to give the reader such an intriguing story that really brought out such descriptions of the wilderness journey. I was able to learn a lots...about backpacking, tent building and even hiking. I don't want to leave out the secondary characters because they were definitely interesting in what they brought into this good novel In the end....well I won't say any more other than to say you will have to pick up this well written novel to she how well this author brings it all out to the reader of the 'complex dynamics' between these two...Liz and Dante.Be reader for a story of not only adventure but of self discovery, redemption, forgiveness and love. It will be a good standalone read.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
