If you want someone to give you a little spur to carry on pursuing your dreams, no matter what age - get this book. There are some folks with a level of hatred that rises well above toxicity into a danger zone; I guess it comes with the influencer territory.

While the memoir is about Madia’s “unconventional life” and her off the road experiences, it’s more about the internal struggles and workings of her head and heart. A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. I never felt like I was given the story she claims she wanted to tell and instead just got snapshots. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate—when the van overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and the water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future.she does not care about you or your opinions or your swaths of support and creepy obsession with her. Because for the hundred or so unhappy humans spending so much energy hating her, there are literally MILLIONS who enjoy her take on the world and seeing her life unfold. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, lonely, and even desperate----when the van overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and the water jugs froze beneath her we she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she faced tough choices, hard truths, and inevitable regrets; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. But it was not for the faint of heart as there was real pain and real sorrow on those pages and i wept and wept for hours even after putting the book on the shelf. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate—when Bertha overheated and Brianna was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of South Dakota highway;when the weather was bitterly cold and her water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office;when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future.

Reading this is a perfectly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, but don’t expect the story to really stick with you or leave a lasting impression. Full disclosure – I have been openly critical of how she feeds the social media beast, the dangerous devil-may-care attitude she employs that sometimes puts her dogs in very dangerous situations, and a lifestyle that comes across as more about the likes than the experience. Imagine still being so butt hurt about someone you most likely don’t even know not handling a traumatic situation the way you think they should, that you’re literally stalking and harassing them years later.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. I don't agree with the hateful comments or the personal attacks, but I can see where others ARE upset. But her telling of it shines with a depth of reflection that may surprise and will certainly inspire readers.
