How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler

I am not sure I would call this book "pop sci" and I instantly regretted not reading it sooner.
This book is a iridescent gem of a collection of essays exploring the sea and a queer narrative of self discovery. It was so beautiful at times I wanted to weep. I instantly thought of 3 or 4 people I wanted to gift it too.
It's so magnificent and so perfectly interconnected-I could not recommend this queer nature book more.

I also love how she really put her struggles about her body out there.

The only reason I do not give this book 5 stars is because there were a couple of essays where the chosen sea creatures and scientific discussions did not easily blend with the story that Sabrina was presenting at the time.
Regardless, I cannot help but love a book where I learn a lot and feel even more.
