Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Mae Whitman narrates this backpacking adventure unlike any other from the brilliant and witty mind of Ginny Hogan. Alice's so-called "journey" takes an unexpected turn that’s less about trails and more about what happens when you realize that people can know how to test water for uranium and still have social anxiety.

If you've ever believed that achieving a lofty goal would somehow untangle the complexities of your life, The Great Indoors is a hilarious reminder that sometimes the best adventures happen right at home.

I wish this book was longer. It was amusing and relatable listening to the protagonist flail and fail and eventually realize that’s all life is…trying again and again. Very enjoyable listen.

the character was a bit emotionally extra but I was entertained and I liked it. Noone's life is perfect. I also liked all the hiking advice since I'm trying to get into hiking this year! that's why I started listening. I really liked what she learned in the end. Definitely unexpected

just life advice

I love May Whitman’s performance, very sweet story! The reference to single New Yorker life is predictable but comforting.

Cute quick read!
