I picked up this book because the marketing and blurb makes it sound like science nonfiction. It is not. It is a collection of personal essays that use marine as a metaphor. They’re beautiful essays, they’re very striking, but I was just intensely frustrated the whole time because of the marketing failure. I wanted the sea creatures to be the point of the book, and it didn’t feel like they were. Maybe I would rate this higher if I’d gone in knowing that.

I absolutely adore memoirs written in this style. Imbler weaves oceanography and queerness and racism and just humanness together so well and I loved every moment of this audiobook

This book was sitting at a solid 4 and then I listened to the essay “Hybrids” and it immediate shot up to a 5.
