A powerful tale of friendship and tragedy. A deeply emotional journey that will challenge you. Yet it felt so perfectly crafted. This contains some violence that I did not expect and will stay with me like it did the characters.

Fascinating women who endured so much. A sad but redemptive story about friendship, family, gender roles and being a woman.

I can’t decide how to describe this book. Maybe heart wrenching and passionate. There is happiness and inspiring moments, but I often had to put it down to sit with what I had read. I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

The descriptions of diving have really stayed with me, this is a gorgeous read.

I found a recommendation for this on a forum when I was looking for cosy reads, but I'll give a heads up to anyone else who reads this that there is actually a lot of trauma and darkness in this book
