I’m speechless. Wow. I love the logic of this book. It’s a beautiful long essay allegedly about fish but actually about finding purpose and meaning in life. Definitely a heavy read but ultimately so realistically hopeful. It is so lush and full of facts - not just a bunch of generic motivational cliches, which I appreciate. The twists and suspenseful writing kept me intrigued. Such a rewarding read. The thesis the author comes to at the end is so beautiful it made me tear up!

It’s all there in the epilogue for me, which of course wouldn’t have packed the same punch without everything that came before. Maybe there’s a metaphor in there.

A truly beautiful book that is also informative and interesting. The author lyrically intertwines her personal story with the story of a scientist who studied fish. It is both a story of taxonomy and a search for meaning.
