Delightful! submitted by hjafuller on August 28, 2020, 7:28am This book was by turns touching, thought-provoking, and hilarious. It is the perfect travel read, because each essay is a self-contained piece and relatively short.

Delightful! submitted by lexinylander on June 17, 2021, 11:57am This was such a joy to read. The short essays made for a quick and reading experience and I truly enjoyed so many of them.

Nice read submitted by keebs23 on June 15, 2022, 8:15pm Digestible stories; thought-provoking when not happy. Some of the essays could be poems with some more line breaks.

Gorgeous -- transformative submitted by po_emfan on July 5, 2022, 9:12pm I've returned to this book time and time again -- and have found moments of levity, nuance, and abundance in care and in joy. This book is an education in learning how to find ordinary and daily awe.
