While the story was consistently rife with dread and sadness about the state of this couple, what an interesting end that I will think about again and again.

Really enjoyed the Leah chapters, the slow dread of being stuck on the ocean floor with two other people who are also losing their mind, and something strange may or may not be watching/talking to you is really my jam of horror. I was a little less interested in the Miri chapters. The writing was beautiful, but yeah, I was a little less invested in the "now" stoyrline and it didn't move me as much as I wanted it to.
