Besides that, I really enjoyed the story for what it was. It was an ambitious undertaking, and I think in some ways it succeeded, but it also left much to be desired. It has some good commentary on homelessness, human nature, and other topics, but it never gets too deep or preachy. It's funny, it's unique, and it's sad. If you're looking for a happy book, this is not it. Without spoiling anything,
Overall, it was a fast, fun read. One that I would pick up again for sure. I got this from the library but am considering buying it for myself when the price goes down. If you're curious about it, I say pick it up!

If we teach the mountain lions to read will they obey laws?

This is such a unique book and unique writing style that accompanies an emotional story told through the point of view of a queer mountain lion in Hollywood. An analogy for queerness and a fever dream of a story, this story has a universal message and covers topics from climate disaster to temptation to coming into one’s own. A gorgeous story.
