Gorge

By: Katherine Carlson

Narrated by: Jenny Lynn McCluskey

Dangerously obese Marty Clawson persuades her cheating husband to dump her in the woods where she hopes to be scared skinny.

But her fantasies about heroic outdoor survival flop as hard as her marriage. Dejected beyond measure, she takes a bus to Montana to visit an old high school suitor—someone she once suspected too sinister to pursue.

Turns out her initial suspicions about him were spot-on. She soon finds herself in the exact predicament she'd so long imagined. Only now she must outwit a vast wilderness...and sheer evil.

loved the story!

I really liked this story. I don't want to go into the reasons why so I don't spoil anything.

Unique plot, perfect narration

I loved everything about this book and am so glad I stumbled upon the audiobook version. The story is told in first person by the main character, Marty, who is quirky, funny, self deprecating and earnest but also resilient. The heavy Southern accent used by the narrator is a bold choice but she nails it and it really brings this book to life. I hope more people stumble across this gem of a book that seems to have slipped under the radar when it came out.
