5.0
Comfort in book form. Pretty light on the sci fi? Kind of? It feels very contemporary but with a sentient robot and everyone’s living on a moon in an eco-conscious society. It’s funny, cozy and comforting. 10/10.
Themes/tropes:
-nature (environmentalism, camping in the forest)
-non binary main character
-friendship
-community
-sentient robot
-questioning one’s purpose
-fictional religion

Content Warnings
Minor: Sexual content and Cursing
The only other warning I can think of is if the topic of ‘life’s purpose’ is especially upsetting to you, but imo the way it was discussed in this book was very hopeful and comforting, not too existential.
