| I’ve always loved a good sliding doors story, and this one delivers. The abuse element was unexpected and very heavy, but an integral part of the story. It would have been good to know it was there going into the book. | |

| Impressively honest. Some really beautifully crafted sections. But it feels preachy a few too many times. | |

| 3.5 stars. There’s a lot to like here. The setting, both Shearwater and the future when climate change is impacting everything, is top notch. Rowan’s story arc is beautiful. I loved Orly and his seed lore. I think my main issue comes down to Hank. He ...more | |

| 2.5 stars. At first I loved the third person POV and the way she specifically broke into first person when she was in her feelings. And the humor was great. But then the third person got a bit tiring and it felt distant, too removed from her own life ...more | |

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
