Lovely read that raises a lot of interesting ideas and questions. It doesn’t complete these thoughts the way a longer story might, but I still felt immersed in the roiling, changing world of The Seep.

It was a good book, I’ll give it that. It made me reflect on my own life, which is always a good thing, in my opinion. I just didn’t care all that much about the characters, other than the boy and he didn’t end up playing that much of a role in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopia and living in the present. I didn’t connect much with the characters, but I didn’t dislike any of them either. It was a good book, just not a great one.

This is such an interesting book full of love, grief, existentialism, and humanity.

There was a point around the 75% mark where it lost me slightly but I did end up really liking the ending after that. 

A really quick read but it’s left me with a lot to think about.
