This was a quick read for me, driven by desire to know the ending. The story was just abstract enough to keep me guessing, which I liked.  When an author can keep me guessing, without alienating me with indecipherable metaphor it is a win.

The connection to nature was a pleasant surprise, and I found myself actually learning some fun stuff about trees and other plant species.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this one for folks who struggle with dementia or themes of depersonalization.
