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

sierrabowers's review against another edition

adventurous emotional informative reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

If you like reading about science and taxonomy, this would be a good book for you. If you’re loosely interested, maybe you would as well. I am not interested in these subjects but the way the author tied the subjects into her own story about life and how the universe is not as it seems… well I was interested to know why fish don’t exist. It was good book! Definitely not what I was expecting but it was enlightening and relaxing.

I would give this 100 stars if I could. Beautifully written, and a hopefulness that carries gravity.
