the intersection of kind of the literary study her own experience going through the grief process as well as her love of the natural world her Love of Animals the combination of those three made a beautiful highly emotional read that I still think about all the time

I was ravenous to pick this up I loved every moment of the listening experience to this audio book. it is one of those non-fiction reads that just makes me want to shout from the rooftops great non-fiction can be equally as entertaining as fiction

this book has changed the way I view my daily life I now identify triggers for certain habits that I have and it's certainly going on my 2017 resolutions list to get rid of some of those. for a non-fiction book it has a ton of reviews and r ings on Goodreads with good reason it was fabulous and I recommend it to everyone

it is impossible to explain how emotionally resonant this book was with me this is the first non-fiction book that has ever brought me to tears. I expected kind of a fun quirky book about the science of the octopus and what makes them tick and what I got was something much deeper on 100% beautiful and something I've been recommending to everyone
