I Am Still Alive Synopsis:
After
Jess is alone. Her cabin has burned to the ground. She knows if she doesn’t act fast, the cold will kill her before she has time to worry about food. But she is still alive—for now.
Before
Jess hadn’t seen her survivalist, off-the-grid dad in over a decade. But after a car crash killed her mother and left her injured, she was forced to move to his cabin in the remote Canadian wilderness. Just as Jess was beginning to get to know him, a secret from his past paid them a visit, leaving her father dead and Jess stranded.
After
With only her father’s dog for company, Jess must forage and hunt for food, build shelter, and keep herself warm. Some days it feels like the wild is out to destroy her, but she’s stronger than she ever imagined.
Jess will survive. She has to. She knows who killed her father… and she wants revenge.

I enjoyed reading “I am still alive” by Kate Alice Marshall! It was fast paced, was well written, and was realistically told. Moreover, I especially liked Jess’s interactions with her father and her reaction after he passes away. However, If the character development had been better, I would have loved it! The main thing I didn’t like about the book was how immature and silly Jess comes off as. Even after spending so many weeks in the wilderness, she’s still unfocused and clumsy. Overall though, it is a gripping, survival story and a good page turner. I loved Bo and he was the main highlight of the book for me.
