Review: "Fearless" by Alison Monda

Fearless by Alison Monda

Published October 2024
★★★★


I am a stubborn barnacle. I could avoid most of the problems in my life if not for this personality trait. However, I have also achieved the best things in my life because of it. (66)

Hello, unexpected delight. As the title promises, this is Monda's chaotic and funny tale of life spent as much in the woods as possible...and, yeah, sometimes creating chaos and hilarity along the way. I'm not a laugh-out-loud-while-reading kind of person, but I definitely snickered a time or two, and even that is not my norm. Fearless charges up and down mountains (and sometimes in and out of emergency rooms), and it is a ride.

When not in the woods, Monda is a firefighter. She talks about it only briefly here, but I'm hoping against hope that eventually she'll also write a book about that experience.
