A review by bookash12
The Scenic Route by Christina Baker Kline
4.0
Impactful 44 pages. This was an Amazon First Reads pick and it sounded interesting. Could have read about 60 more pages. But the 44 said a lot.
Two quotes I pulled that stood out:
In that moment I was aware of life pulsing all around me, indifferent to me. I was just a tiny part of a vast living, breathing ecosystem. I wasn’t at the center of anything. Maybe, I thought, life can really be this simple. Maybe I can just . . . exist.
Stillness can’t really exist, she said, because even when we’re not moving, we’re breathing, and breath is movement. I’m here. I’m breathing.
