Thank you John Green for helping me slow down. For helping me open my eyes again. For reminding me that it is ok to like, dislike, enjoy, or be nervous about literally anything because my thoughts and feelings are valid too.
This essay collection includes everything. Who knew I could find comfort in an essay about Diet Dr. Pepper, or wisdom hearing his take on Halley's Comet? I didn't realize Green and I are the same age. I felt oddly closer to him when he gave a shout out to a bottle of Strawberry Hill. This book was straight up comfort.

My only criticisms are that for a book that claims to review the Anthropocene it is obscenely American in perspective (despite a couple of essays being on non-American topics/stories); and that, if you've followed John Green for a few years, even if you don't listen to the Anthropocene podcast, a lot of these stories will be at least familiar to your ears.
