This book is a slow and haunting build to a mysterious end. I feel like I’m left with more questions than answers, but that felt more realistic given the story that was laid out. The writing is beautiful and sitting in Miri’s grief felt like being in the frozen sub with Leah. The parallels of confusion and longing between the two felt even more heartbreaking as we switched timelines and perspectives.
I would read the trigger warnings for this story as there is some body horror. Otherwise, if you’re down for some sad times and beautiful writing, I highly recommend the story.

A story about being a hypochondriac living in a rented flat with thin walls who finds it so hard to keep up with friends, whose wife says she'll be gone for three weeks and instead stays gone for six months. And then when she comes back she comes back so wrong. How do you live with that grief? What can you even hope to do about this?
It's a love story, it's a ghost story, it's a horror story.
