I will be honest, I bought this book 100% because the title intrigued me. The book turned out to be incredibly engaging and interesting. I had little idea where it was headed, but I was along for the ride.

I’m also just straight up rattled. I did not think it would deliver on the title, but here I am rethinking my entire categorized worldview…which I suppose is the point.

Beautiful book!

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.

This book surprised me over and over again.  I don't know how the author pulled off making all the disparate elements cohere, but she did.  A moving, deep yet delightful quick read.
