The art was lovely. I wish there were more of these books, maybe in a series. I would 100% read them. 

I equally wanted to take my time with this to soak in as much Rachel Bloom as I could and also gobble it all up in one fell swoop, also due to my love of Rachel Bloom. For fans of Bloom and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, I highly recommend.

I related to the main character a bit, and I also loved the nature (and by extension, fox behavior) covered in this book. Toward the end, it waxes poetic, but certainly not in a bad way. I agree with the review on the front cover. This is quite Thoreau-esque in nature, but from the POV of a brilliant woman who has a deep relationship with animals and the wild.

I wasn't ready for my heart to be torn out at the end of the book. For me, wildfires are triggering, as I've lived and worked right next to one before as well, which I saw consume hundreds of acres of national forest. As someone who usually connects better with animals and nature over people and their expectations, I felt very drawn to Fox and the magpie, and I felt their loss deep in my gut.

Profoundly touching. It delves into sadness just enough to tap into that within ourselves, then draws us back out through kindness and love. Relaxing and meditative. A great read for all ages.
