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

challenging dark hopeful informative fast-paced

3.0

I was so ready to DNF and give this one-star halfway through the book. Luckily, I was on a road trip and decided to keep going because I didn’t have anything else to do. Then, the penny dropped, and all the red flags you thought weren’t being picked up on by the author come back around and are explored in-depth.
