I really wanted to like this book but I was frustrated about the dark tone throughout the story. I thought the unique topic was interesting and the book is well written but I was anxious to finish and be done with it. While the friendship between the two women (compared to Thelma and Louise) was tight by the end of the book, to get there you had to read through a journey of depressing and downhearted experiences with almost every character. I was disappointed that the women were on an extraordinary expedition and yet it was filled with angst and uncertainty. After the story ends there is an explanation of how the author based the book on a photo of two women and that was nice.
