Brianna is a natural storyteller. This memoir has me *nearly* convinced to flee my life as a high school teacher to live in a van in the desert. Absolutely worth the read, even if, and maybe especially because, you’ve followed her on instagram for years. Absolutely breath-taking imagery, hilarious encounters, and the best “faith in humanity” restorer I’ve read in years. Love love love her and “nowhere for very long”.

Absolutely loved this. If you like travel, dogs, and a nomadic life this is for you. Also to the anonymous negative reviewers here that are clearly the Reddit trolls.

Not what I was expecting. Misleading synopsis, with exception of the final line perhaps. The story is far from the theme depicted and implied after researching this book on this website. Falling far short of any inspiring adventures or perspectives on unconventional living, the story lazily flipped flopped around cliched relationship memories, narrated in a harsh and overly sincere voice for a cheesy load of airport book shop fodder.

Amazing book.

Loved it

I'd heard a lot about this book, even though I don't follow the author online, and had high expectations. In the end it wasn't really for me. The story spends most of the time in the authors childhood and dealing with living in a divorced household. Which wasn't what I wanted or expected from a "desert, van dwelling memoir." As someone who lives a nomadic life, I was just bored. The writing was a little clunky and the story jumped around in a way that didn't really connect when it seemed like it should. It's a short read so give it a go but I didn't walk away inspired or awed.

briannas words are magical.

Amazing! I loved this book so much!
