I didn't dislike this book, but at over halfway through it has been more memoir and reflection on how white European values shape our perception of the natural world. There is some discussion around Native American cultures and their reltionship with nature, how little binary exists in plant and animal kingdoms, and interesting facts about creatures, but I realized I was only listening to the book to pass the time. The prose is lovely and has a needed place in our world, but ultimately I went in looking for a more educational non-fiction work than this provides.

What a beautiful short book that weaves the queerness of human kind into the world of plants and animals and vice versa. There were things mentioned in this book like a sit spot, which absolutely resonates with me. If Robin Wall Kimmerer gives a good review of a book, I will definitely read it and this book gave me similar feelings as to when I read Braiding Sweetgrass. Just a lovely book.

I LOVED this book! I am a very big fan of auto-theory as a genre so I enjoyed the memoir aspect! I felt like it helped to build the connections with nature. I am also interested in queerness, queer theory, nature, and anti-colonialism so it’s no surprise that this was a 5 star read for me. The writing, the story-telling, and the connections that the author made between nature and queerness left me speechless many times. I wish that everything I underlined and all of the pages I tabbed (which was a lot) could be permanently etched into my brain !! I truly believe that this book rewired my brain a little bit. I finished it with a new sense of belonging, and a deeper understanding of my place in this world ✨

i feel like the title is very very misleading. this was pretty much just a memoir, which is fine, but it’s not what the book made itself out to be.

a lovely exploration of the way nature is queer, challenging binary and hetero norms. the way the author weaves her personal identity and context into the narrative of the book is a relatable delight.
the book was well-structured and easy to follow, and it definitely achieved what it set out to do.
