About this listen

Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Mae Whitman narrates this backpacking adventure unlike any other from the brilliant and witty mind of Ginny Hogan. Alice's so-called "journey" takes an unexpected turn that’s less about trails and more about what happens when you realize that people can know how to test water for uranium and still have social anxiety.

If you've ever believed that achieving a lofty goal would somehow untangle the complexities of your life, The Great Indoors is a hilarious reminder that sometimes the best adventures happen right at home.

Hilarious and easy listening, super relatable, but in a quick, witty and hilarious manner. It had me laugh/snorting and crying at points. Such well performed and written story.

Sometimes I find forced inspirational stories so cheesey and tripe, but this was perfect. I'm hoping a physical version comes out soon so I can get it for my wife (she doesn't listen to Audiobooks)

Really Fun, Heartwarming and Inspirational
