5.0

As a biologist I sometimes find it hard to want to read about biology, especially in a pop sci story of way. It's just hard to look forward to having someone explain things you know and it can often come across as gimmicky, which is maybe why I put off this book for so long. 

I am not sure I would call this book "pop sci" and I instantly regretted not reading it sooner. 

This book is a iridescent gem of a collection of essays exploring the sea and a queer narrative of self discovery. It was so beautiful at times I wanted to weep. I instantly thought of 3 or 4 people I wanted to gift it too.

It's so magnificent and so perfectly interconnected-I could not recommend this queer nature book more.

This book took me by surprise. I had no idea what it was about initially and actually just thought it was going to be about sea creatures. Its about a lot more than that! Absolutely loved the writing and the authors story.
