Easy to read and full of insightful tips on making more holistic choices for your home! I will refer back to this book regularly, I imagine! From the last sentence of the book (and something I want to remember): “In short, the crunchiest things you can do are think for yourself, do the best you can, and show love to your fellow human beings.” 💛

The ending, while poetic, left me feeling… incomplete. I wish there was just a little more! But I loved the mystery… the twists and turns… and how it all came together to solve the big mystery of what was happening!

This was not a book I would normally pick up, but a friend recommended it. I’m so glad I gave it a chance! I laughed out loud many times and loved the characters.

I wasn’t sure what to think of this book. It started off slow and I put it down several times before trying again. But about halfway through it got much more interesting with a lot of twists and turns! And the ending was much better than the start.
