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.

I struggled with this book at first, finding it simultaneously too academic and too poetic for me to understand, but as it went on I found myself enjoying it more and more. It's both uplifting in how it discusses hope and depressing in how it describes the fear and uncertainty that comes with future-planning in this current time. I'm left feeling a lot of complicated emotions now that it's over.
