Andrea recommends "The River at Night"



Four friends with little experience set out for the remote Maine woods for some bonding, adventure, and whitewater rafting. What could go wrong? 


When civility takes a back seat to survival and old resentments are brought to the forefront, our explorers must set those aside and work together if they are to make it out alive. I really enjoyed how the tension between the women slowly ratchets up in tandem with the tension of what might be lurking in the wilderness, and the author's descriptions of whitewater rafting down an inhospitable river were vivid and heart-pounding. 


If adventure, survival, and the dynamics of friendship under stress are subjects you're drawn to, this book is for you. It kept me turning pages way past my bedtime. 


This book is for adults.
