Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

4.0

This was not what I expected AT ALL, but I'm so glad I read it! The concept was so cool, and it was one of those rare occasions where the author weaves in their personal life with the subject matter seamlessly. I learned so much about the history of eugenics, Stanford University, and taxonomy. If you pitched me a book on the premise of those three subjects in combination, it may be a hard sell. But Miller skillfully wove the narratives together to create a really meaningful narrative.
