This is near perfection. It felt so grounded, even for being another world. I loved the characters and the philosophical examination of humanity, nature, relationships and self. It was so beautiful and so simple. Fast paced for how little actually happens, too. I should have read this a lot sooner.

I adored this book as a break from everything else. Life, other fiction, my heavy onslaught of nonfiction. It isn’t that it is a lighthearted puff piece, more like a “why can’t we be this”, but not in a violent or sad way, but a humbling “check out what life can be” way.

Deeply appreciated this and loved seeing other spectrums of Becky’s ideological spectrum.
