The Hike

The blurb was way more interesting than the actual book. The two main characters are basically in love with each other from the start, so there's not much of a story in terms of romance. The actual story is that they go on a ridiculous and brutal hike through the desert, even though they barely have any experience. To make matters worse, they take their dogs with them, don't even keep them on a leash, and just seem completely irresponsible and unprepared throughout their adventure. Their phones are already dead on the first day with no way to charge them. The characters have no redeeming features either. Tuck isn't so bad, but the first person MC, Ash, is a judgmental asshole.

The writing is good and I was curious enough about the “mystery” to keep reading, but I'm not gonna miss these two.
