This book was a bit of a mixed bag, but mostly positive. The jellyfish science was fascinating, and some of the memoir bits really resonated (I started as a marine biology major, and while I switched majors, I did end up with two science M.S. degrees, and I often miss academia), but perhaps because it was so close, it also grated. Like, it must be nice to be able to decide to just fly to Japan because you want to see jellyfish. Maybe sour grapes? I don't know.

I learned so much and it was great. I thought the structure was excellent though maybe not quite pulled off all the way through and not enough about what to do to help. But my main reason was to understand jellyfish and I loved that she had an essential question and it is going to be a great book to present at LLC.
