No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering by Clara Bensen

4.0

The closest a book's been to 4 stars in a while for me.

While not revolutionary nor unique, it's an interesting tale of travel and a strong rumination on life, love, and mental illness. Maybe it particularly resonates with me because I too will similarly embark on a European trip (though similarities of trips end there); maybe it's her quarter-life crisis I understand all too well; or maybe it's her quiet, observatory nature and strokes of human descriptions that I enjoy the most.
