From the marketing copy: “A lonely, lovable, queer mountain lion narrates this star-making fever dream of a novel.“ Indeed!

This was a really fast read -- even though I had to go back and re-read a few sections because I was so confused about what was going on! If you're looking for conventional storytelling, this is definitely not for you, but if you're open to something outside of the box, it's worth checking out.

“Do they miss me?
Does it count if the person they miss isn‘t actually me?”

Picked this up on a whim because I saw it on somebody‘s 2023 favorites. It‘s a sweet romance about two hikers who fall in love while hiking from Mexico to Canada on the PCT. But more surprisingly, it‘s a study in grief and the importance of found family and packs quite a gut punch in several moments. Definitely brought some tears to my eyes several times.
