This book is offers a great overview of different ways the environment is impacted in Singapore and the many industries that contribute to climate change. What I loved is that it doesn't just discuss the problems we face, but hones in on and emphasises possible solutions too. Even if you're not based in Singapore, this is a really good book to read if you're curious about the world's future in a heating climate and how we can avoid catastrophe.

The writing is way too cringy.

Actual perfection.

The best thing about this book is the island setting, paired with the absolutely magical writing style. I wasn't always a huge fan of the characters, particularly in the middle section of the book, but I can see why the author chose to develop them a certain way. This is ultimately a really engrossing tale of family, grief, love and home, which completely transports you to a world as real as it is fantastical.
