Pretty cool! Really vibed with some of the essays here, particularly the ones about dual-nationality in the face of the climate crisis. Maybe I'm just a fiend for Colombia content.
Didnt always fuck with the writing style. I feel like I'm seeing this somewhat quirky millennial tone more n more and, like hyperpop, it's starting to get a little old.
Decent collection tho! Accessible! Current! Good moments of vulnerability. Some really original angles being explored here.

A beautiful and methodical series of essays discussing climate change and how it's ravaged--and is currently ravaging--the world and our persona llives. Johannesson is clearly a talented writer, down to the word choice. Perhaps it is this, or perhaps it's her passion, that makes this book so poignant. In discussing climate change as climate change, as a personal issue, as a racial issue, as systemic, as everything and everyone all at once, her book is simultaneously a plea and a call to action.

One of my favorite collection of essays I've ever read-- from a very smart, thoughtful, sensitive human being. A gem I will be gifting to everyone in my life that I love.
Feeling so full and enriched from the author's intimate storytelling and exploration of the world, its and its crises through the lens of their complex identities. I learned so much from their deep dives into the nuances of how the world is responding to the climate crisis, particularly, the nuances of flights and birth strikes.

Very dense, took me months to finish it as I kept taking breaks in between chapters. Quite heavy, lots of thinking on current crisis (covid, climate), the occidental response to them, capitalism and identity as an immigrant woman.
Some subjects made me push my reflections further, especially the whole part on potential motherhood in the 2020s.
The author made me want to know her. Even though I found it hard to keep up, this was informative, honest and cathartic at times.
