Honestly, I think the marketing for this novel might have confused the audience a bit and led to some of the negative reviews it has received, it's not strictly the horror novel you're promised, but moreso an examination of grief and what it means to love and lose someone dearly. I expected to be scared and instead cried my way through Miri and Leah's heart-wrenching story. Our Wives Under the Sea broke my heart and I loved every page.

Thank you for this pain, Julia Armfield, I am now your biggest fan. <3 :(

this was good, just a little slow for me even though it was relatively short

great if you’re looking for something atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful
