Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

3.5
Having a biology degree, the revelation about fish wasn’t a surprise and I don’t think it hit the way the author was intending. I also had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t written for people with a biology degree. But the history was fascinating and the correlation with the past and the author’s own life was also engaging. I didn’t know anything about David Starr Jordan and so everything about him was a surprise.
