This book grabbed me because of how beautiful the cover and edges are, and I consumed it in 24 hours because the story is beautifully tragic. The author did an amazing job at illustrating the toxicity of human nature and our need for consumption even when it's not in our best interest. The euphemism to Amazon and corporate greed, the destruction of nature,  and the way humanslosee their humanity in the face of survival. How they adapt to the toxicity simply to survive. Then, we see the beauty of kindness, forgiveness, empath,  and overall touch, love,  and human connection.  I love that it wasn't a HEA but also not a predictable sad ending either.It's really a beautiful and well written story🤍
