When I started this book, I had high hopes that it would be informative and empowering, but unfortunately as I read on, it started to fall flat. The tone is condescending and although the author tries to tie in other perspectives, I feel that her attempts at integrating intersectional activism are not successful. This book seems to be written for fairly privileged young people who are grappling with climate anxiety. The writing is not trauma informed, there are some things that come off as very abelist, and she seems to assume that her readers are (overall) grappling with climate anxiety without suffering from other issues. This book may be very helpful to some but it was not for me.

One of the most important parts of this book for me was an exercise asking the reader to think about a positive vision for the future. It got me to think about the importance of pulling back from constant negativity.

This is simply an incredible book that packs so much thought-provoking information into a concise 150 pages. If you are at all interested in climate justice, please pick this up. You won’t regret it.
Even if there are some things that you don’t agree with - which I found to be the case sometimes - it is still very worthwhile.
