    This is a strange book, and I say that in the best way possible. It somehow manages to both put into words some of my lonliest and darkest thoughts and feelings, and at the same time make me laugh of it all. The story is great, the characters felt like both friends and like my self, the ending made me cry and lay down in relief. Really loved this book.

    What I like best about this book is how it makes me understand a tiny bit more about trauma I haven't experienced myself. And even though the premise for the plot is dark, the book still manages to stay easy read, with characters I like (and dislike), humour and warmth, and genuine worry on how it's all going to turn out.

    Did not expect this book to speak to me in this way! 😭 "Nothing has a purpose. The world simply is. It is enough to exist in the world and marvel in it. You don’t need to justify that or earn it. You’re allowed to just live." thinking about lack of purpose as a "crowning mark of intellectual maturity" and non self-centeredness...groundbreaking 🤯

    Ok, let's be honest, the world is a bit too much right now, so what could be better than a book about a munk and a robot, exploring the wilderness of the moon they live on, comparing views on life and everything related from the perspectives of human and robot? The style of the book is peaceful and calming, the scenery and life described like a pleasant dream. And the ending is a thoughtful and timeless perspective on our present world and life that might end up skewing my view on my place in the world and my place in my own life. I loved this book.
