A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

If you liked Project Hail Mary,  this is exactly what you should read next. If you ever felt like a human doing instead of a human being, you should read this next. If you ever found comfort in a cup of tea, you should read this. 

Chambers deftly handles themes such as burnout, imposter syndrome, and purposefulness without being sanctimonious or preachy. We love the main character as much for their vulnerabilities and flaws as we do for anything else. The journey is the message, and as I wandered the wild with them, I found myself hurt, and healing, and then, again, whole. 

I really loved this book.
