This book very frustratingly undercuts it's entire theme of the importance and power of body autonomy by pulling fully backtracking in the epilogue.

I liked this but didn’t love it the first time around, but I’m looking forwards to rereading this in the future. I think I’ll like it more

Really great/unique word choices, tightly written & almost disturbing descriptions, and enjoyed how Cass Khaw played around with mermaid tropes. Definitely wanted more.
