It’s been a long time since I picked up a book that I knew I would cry over on purpose. This book is absolutely breathtaking in its whimsy, prose and story. I became so invested in every single character that I wish I could have several books with them. Amelia, Alex, Jenna, Val, Nolan, Wally- I love them and want to protect them at all costs. The tone is reminiscent of The Starless Sea, Strange the Dreamer, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January. It is poetic in tone and moved me to tears in its beauty. With tones of friendship, loss, the bonds we create and the paths we choose, you will think of Orman and whales for long after this book has been finished. 

Nolan is probably my favorite grumpy cinnamon roll of ALL time and I am so grateful to have entered Orman. 

Adding to my Fave Books of All Time Shelf.
