3.5 stars. A good fun read. Not as quirky good as Eleanor and Park but some of the same feels.

Audiobook. Definitely interesting story arc but I would have loved even more animal details. Loved the analogy of the zoo like an ark.

Why did I wait so long? This little gem has been on my list and on my shelf for a few years. Loved the conversational narrative voice of Cornelia. Can't wait to rush through the next two novels.
