I think this was a 3 star book; it was fine but a bit heavy handed at times and I never grew to like the main characters. Erin was probably my favorite POV but we also got to spend the most time with her. I like horror and body horror, that’s not what turned me off about the book, I just found myself not caring by the end.
Edited: the more I’ve thought on this book, the less I like it. I think the author was trying to put to many ideas in one book which made the characters and ideas fall flat.

Body and cosmic horror combo with some spicy scenes, if anybody isn't clear! Normally not my favorite, but this was so good!

i knew this would be 5 stars within like 20 pages. literally the perfect mix of cosmic horror vs governments-dealing-with-a-scary-pandemic-realism vs virus science vs cephalopod science vs queerness vs body horror vs hornyness, plus all the little callbacks and connections between all the individual stories. erins story is my favourite but i loved every page of this book and i got to the end like noooo i want moree lmao
I don't know if I liked it or not honestly. But I got through it pretty quick.
