Gold Fame Citrus by Claire Vaye Watkins

4.0

What the (and I can’t stress this enough) f***. This book has been in my hold folder on overdrive for almost a year. In fact, it has been so long I don’t remember very the how, why, what, or details to my adding it to my list. But.... this was a fabulously written, descriptive piece that speaks to what could happen if efforts in conservation fail. Are we there yet? No, but the imagery produced in this book made it feel pretty darn possible. There were a few vulgar moments. They were oddly comparative to the vulgarity of the situation. Raw, gritty, real. Overall a quick read I didn’t want to put down.
