Catherynne Valente may be my number one favorite author, however I do not like dystopias and I just read Parable of the Sower and saw news stories about climate change affecting ocean currents and so I did not exactly love this because it's too real. I am scared. The book had a light tone and the protagonist was adapting to the new world which was her only world and it's a funny, tongue-in-cheek short book about how we "f***wits" f***ed it all up, but humans are resilient and adaptable and will still find beauty and tell stories and fall in love no matter what.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book going into it. But it was an imaginative read about the future of the world. I could totally picture it in my head. Floating garbage and waste. People left behind to find a way to survive on it. A thought-provoking read.
