Oh sweet, talented Caleb. You sir, are a special breed of writer. I’m in even more awe of this novel than I was of Open Water. The language was so vivid and all the descriptions tickled against my senses. I love the thoughtfulness put into the sequence of the storytelling; how the same or similar phrases were juxtaposed and sprinkled throughout the chapters. I grew a love for all the characters and felt the hurt that they felt with their respective losses. So glad I’m ending 2023 with such a great piece of work.
