I really enjoyed this, and I think Viola is such a great storyteller & narrator. At times certain words were repetitive and overused. And the time frame didn’t always flow. But other than that, this made me remember why I like audiobooks:)

Really appreciated the representation and the importance of education and activism in this book. With it being under 200 pages, it covers an extensive range of topics and issues. While maintaining its flow and depth in terms of climate change, people, and everything in between. And I cried twice.
