"Most days I think we couldn't be farther from [the wild], that it was slowly bred from us until we became more like machines than animals."
"And the other days?"
"On the other days, I think I will go mad with wildness."


This is my top read of 2022 so far. 
This was so well done. The pacing was impeccable and I was so invested in every element of this story. For a relatively short book, I was not ready to let these characters go. 

This one is going to stick with me for a while.
