Overall, I really enjoyed this. I don't know who wrote the jacket copy- don't look at that. Just, go in cold.
A group of people sign up to be a part of a study in The Wilderness State, living on the land and leaving no trace behind. This is told from the point of view of a mother who was a founding member of the group and her daughter, who was too young to remember the world on the outside. They face so many challenges. It is, at times, a nature survival novel and those were the parts I enjoyed the most. The psychological stuff, while interesting, had less appeal for me. I would really, really like a side novella from a ranger's POV because I think that really might explain some things.
I'd put this in the hands of a reader who enjoyed Station Eleven or Into the Forest.
