5.0
emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

much like braiding sweetgrass—often referenced in this book— forest euphoria brought a new perspective of human-nature relationships. kaishian explores the queerness of nature and how it supported her journeys of self-discovery as well as what our western heteronormative culture could learn fluidity and open-mindedness from the organisms around us. 

i thought that the presentation of some highly technical information and terminology paired with personal accounts, really made the scientific commentary more digestible and easy to understand; even relate to. after finishing this book, i had an even greater sense of appreciation for all manners of life, as well as hope for how we as a collective may be able to learn from other species and apply those teachings for a better future.
