I honestly just loved the cover on this one, and once I started my Booksta I saw great reviews about A Psalm For the Wild-Built. It's also just 150 pages, which is perfect while I'm studying.

Dex, the MC, is living their dream selling tea and being on the road, but they still can't find happiness in all of this. They know that their job is fulfilling and helps people, but Dex is still unhappy. One day Dex decides to go to the wilderness, where he meets the robot Mosscap. Dex and Mosscap starts their journey, all because of a simple question: "What do humans need?"

I rated it 5 stars. This is more of a cozy, philosophical and whimsical story that focuses on what makes us human - and what we need to be happy. I truly enjoyed this, and think many others will. It's short as well, but a fullfilling story that leaves you wanting more.
