Preachy and unoriginal. Remarkably similar plot other books I’ve read recently (most notably The Storyteller’s Secret by Sejal Badani.)

I lost count of how many times Cleeton used a phrase like “An oath falls from his lips” or “a smile falls from his lips.” Blegh.

Would be four stars except for THAT scene

This book is so jumbled. There is no narrative flow or structure. While some portions were interesting, the book reminded me of a amateur blog post. Nico's description of themself just seems so performative. Their intent may be more genuine, but their descriptions of experiences and emotions, just seem so performative and contrived.

Slow start, but I did like it eventually.

For anyone wanting to dress more sustainably, this book is a good starting point. I already have a good background in conscious shopping, but I still found this book worth reading. I particularly appreciated the DIY sections and laundering sections.
