Thank you to Netgalley and Sword Circle Pen for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 

The book as a meal: I was told that eating meat is bad for the environment, and this time I really thought about if for a while
The book left me: Wanting to change my ways a little bit

Negatives:
Extremely long Chapters
A little too descriptive
The Final spirit had maybe too little impact and I felt the direction takes was nonsensical

Positives:
All Vibes, barely any plot
Lots of different views and scenarios 

Features: 
A Christmas Carol but Earth day themed

Why did I choose this one?
I thought it was a Collection of short stories about Earth day, seems I was mistaken

Pick-up-able? Put-down-able?
Middle, maybe a little put-down-able. I am a bigger fan of Shorter Chapters, and this book had up to 30+ pages per Chapter. I found that a little hard to read and keep on Reading. 

What was the vibe and mood?
It was a little nasty, and then a little Sweet, then horrifying, then more horrifying, and then Sweet again. The mood keeps changing

Final ranking and star rating?
C tier, 3 stars. I didn't Connect With this as much as expected, and it was a lot different than what i had imagined (clearly). But I think for those who enjoy weird "retellings" this might hit that Sweet spot.
