I have read two other books written by Matt, and those seemed to get to the plot quicker than this book. To me, the storyline went on for too long. The book would’ve also been great without a villain. I liked it, but didn’t love it.

This book was hard to get into but taught me such beautiful lessons and perspectives and I teared up at parts and simultaneously felt so insignificant and so significant in this giant beautiful world and universe we exist in.

This was different. I liked the beginning and the end, but almost quit halfway through. It’s magical realism, but it was so far away from believable that it was hard to get through. On the other hand, some of the writing was great, and I put sticky notes by several lines and quotes I want to remember. Ibiza, an older lonely woman, an even older hippy fisherman, a strange presence, and a portal to a different planet that you can only get to under water. 3 stars - straight down the middle.
