I didn’t like the way it ended (though it was appropriate for the genre). I would’ve liked to hear more about Ennis and the other friends she made on the fishing boat.

I think this is my current favourite book. Not many books make me cry, but this one did. It made me rethink my impact, being alive on this earth, and my future career as a biologist. The plot and the twists and turns and the flashbacks all added to the beauty of this book. Wow honestly
