Bluets by Maggie Nelson
2.0

2.5/ 5 stars.

My favorite color in the whole entire world is blue. I am so connected to the color that sometimes it feels more like a spiritual connection than an admiration. So, when I found out that there was a book with philosophical account on life that used the color blue as a lens, I ordered it right away. I thought that I would have a spiritual connection to this book because I have one with the color blue. And, to some extent, I think that did happen. However, this book was not what I thought it was going to be. It wasn't really a story. It wasn't really a nonfictional account. I'm still trying to figure out what it was entirely. I'm really glad that I picked it up, because this is a type of book that I have never read before. But, I'm left feeling like I've missed the point.
