This book pulled something a bit raw out of me. It made me feel like I just had a therapy session. So I don't necessarily feel better, but I do understand.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built is filled with so many interesting thoughts, philosophical questions, and relatable quips that tickled my brain. I felt seen and opened up in a way I wasn’t expecting, especially in so few words.

If you miss the pointers towards gender and society, you're really missing out on some of the things that make this book great. It has so many layers and is a book I might just need to re-read again to see them all clearly.

I’ll be recommending this to everyone whether they like it or not.
