It is rare for myself to read a non-fiction book. Admittedly, I typically am not intrigued or gripped enough to focus on the material of the book. This book was a rare exception. As a vegetarian, a young self-proclaimed climate change activist, and a teenager who has struggled with bullying, mental health issues, and her place in this ever changing world, this book really hit home. I loved the way nature was used to explain our feelings of interconnectedness and how nature was also used to explain our feelings of loneliness. It was a beautifully written book that ever person should read at some point in their lifetime and if not, they should read something similar. It is important to acknowledge your place in this new age and what you can do to better it.
