Story
When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she’s ever felt comfortable, and the painkillers she’s been prescribed can help her get there. The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. But as the pressure to be Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.

Sasha Stone knows her place - first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her Oxford-wearing boyfriend. She's worked her entire life to ensure her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved. But suddenly there's a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she's never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well - too well - when she doesn't know him at all?

Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it. Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best - the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.

Publisher's summary
Hatchet meets Wild in this harrowing YA survival story about a teenage girl’s attempt to endure the impossible, from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Female of the Species, Mindy McGinnis.
The world is not tame. Ashley knows this truth deep in her bones, more at home with trees overhead than a roof.
So when she goes hiking in the Smokies with her friends for a night of partying, the falling dark and creaking trees are second nature to her. But people are not tame either. And when Ashley catches her boyfriend with another girl, drunken rage sends her running into the night, stopped only by a nasty fall into a ravine.
Morning brings the realization that she’s alone - and far off trail. Lost in undisturbed forest and with nothing but the clothes on her back, Ashley must figure out how to survive with the red streak of infection creeping up her leg.

Story
Sprout Bradford has a secret. It's not what you think he'll tell you he's gay. He'll tell you about his dads drinking and his mother's death. The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Shocking Tale Of Survival
I bought this book on a whim not really expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I finished the whole thing in a day because I desperately needed to know what was going to happen next and if our main character would survive (or at the very least, catch a break). The writing will have you glued to the plot from the first chapter and unlike other survival stories this one seems more realistic and like it could honestly happen to anyone which adds to the suspense!

Fast-Paced Survival Story
I'm always a fan of a good survival story, and this was no exception. At just over 5 hours, this was a quick and easy read, action-packed at every turn. I finished it one evening, on the edge of my seat the whole time. If you're looking for a classic, lost-in-the-woods, survival story, this one definitely fits the bill. My only real complaint was that I didn't love the main character. She was a bit too "not like other girls" for my taste. The story moved quick enough that I didn't really care, though, and I do feel that she did some growing during her time in the woods.
Narration was solid, and I would recommend this for anyone looking for a survivalist, action-packed, YA novel.

INTO THE WILD goes YA Thriller
I’m going to be honest. I am OBSESSED with Into The Wild, the story of Chris McCandless, and survival stories in general — but that story centers around a boy who made a dumb choice and eventually killed himself to prove a point.
So imagine if you replaced him with a fictional character who knew a lot about survival, a lot about the forest, and ended up in peril after one not very bright idea. Ashley Hawkins is a badass girl dealt a bad hand in life, but she wants to live. She pushes through horrible experience after horrible experience, all to get back to a not-so-great life and with her one shot at a future totally ruined. BNFFM is intense, stressful, raw, and heartbreaking (as is to be expected from McGinnis) and some scenes should not be read/listened to while eating because oof even I got a little squeamish. She respects the woods and nature in the most honest way, all throughout her journey, and she deserves the nickname Asskicker Ashley.

great book
At the beginning of the book, there is a but of childish drama, but again, what do you expect when it is about high schoolers who go camping? But after a few chapters in, it really gets good. keeps you hooked, wanting to know what comes next. very worth the read. Will most definitely find myself listening again.

Loved it!
I read this for a book club and didn't plan to like it. At all. However, I loved it! The grit and spirit of Ashley and her overall bad-assery amazed me at every turn! And there are turns! Enjoy.

Wonderfully written
An engrossing and somehow both unbelievable and completely realistic book. The character is earnest and relatable.

Doesn't spare any details
The Story gives a sense of foreboding that she won't make it out alive.

Engaging survival story and more
Engaging survival story with a kick-ass protagonist. Definitely worth the read! You may also like A Madness So Discreet by the same author if you liked this, and Female of the Species.

Fun story, a bit far fetched
Well written and performed. Plot stretches at points and makes it difficult to stay with what's happening.
