Beautifully poetic even though it's not poetry. Aimee Nezhukumatathil masterfully combines information with reflections on life. I was surprised by how emotionally impacted I was by these mini essays.

This is the first book I've read for myself in almost three years, and it has fully reinvigorated my desire to read. Regardless of your preferred genre, the prose in this book is worth the time taken with it. I would recommend it to anyone.
