I had no idea what I was getting myself into and it took me to unexpected places. Chaotic but she tied it up nicely in the end and left me with a message I’ll never forget during a time I needed it most. Fish do not exist.

Found it perhaps a bit slow for my style but the ending and generally just the whole book was magnificent. Made me feel like I had just been filled up with sunshine and wrapped in a big hug. Loved it xxx

I would give this 100 stars if I could. Beautifully written, and a hopefulness that carries gravity.

youngwessels's review against another edition

informative medium-paced

The chapters revolving around David Starr Jordan are a compelling look into a deeply troubled person’s experiences but the chapters revolving around Lulu Miller’s own life are just a sloggish look into a slightly less troubled person’s experiences.
