In the small community of Glenville, Vermont everyone is connected. Told with multiple voices over a year we watch as this small town and it’s residents move and change with the seasons and the uncertainty the future may hold.
If I could sum this book up in one word, melancholy. There is definitely a strong presence of global environmental changes. The feeling of being stuck despite trying to move ahead. An impending sense of something bad coming. There are no dramatic changes in emotions or feelings, everything stays around the same general melancholy.
Which sort of sums up how I feel about this book, don’t love it, don’t hate it, it’s fine.

I truly wanted to love Carolyn Kuebler's "Liquid, Fragile, Perishable," but I ended up disappointed. The narrative's complexity, especially during narrator shifts, left me confused, and it took me until the book's 80% mark to truly engage with the plot. However, I must commend the author's beautiful writing style, which was the sole reason to why I finished the book.
I have decided to give "Liquid, Fragile, Perishable" two stars because while the plot fell short of expectations, the book's redeeming quality lies in Kuebler's beautiful writing, which motivated me to finish it after all.
