Incredibly intriguing writing style — I enjoyed the questions & answers throughout the book, especially.
The writing reflects what feels like a stream of consciousness of how people grow anxious over their own lives or impending climate change and all the worry that comes with it, which can be hard to follow at times.
I felt sad and anxious, towards the end of the book, continuously hoping something good or enlightening would happen to the narrator and her family members, and that made for a sprint to the finish.
Though I felt unsatisfied at the end…maybe that was intended?
