It did take me a long time to finish such a short book. It was boring in parts and overly detailed. Miri is a cold and distant narrator, which makes it hard to connect with the characters and share in their grief.

i think most of me not enjoying the book has to do with the fact, that i’ve never been in a relationship, and that’s why all of these metaphors/descriptions on relationships and relationships ending, were just really boring to me bc i have no emotional connection to them.
a story that was beautifully wiritten but stretched unnecessarily. you could’ve told the same story, filled with the same beautiful writing in 100 pages less. and the book only had 230 pages.

I adored this book.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been for the author to lean into the horror aspect some more. At the end of the day this is not that kind of novel, but the setup of Leah on that submarine was very compelling, if not slightly underused.
Nevertheless, this book is about grief and the ability to let go, and everything happening around that is there to further develop these themes.
Moderate: Body horror, Death of parent, Grief, and Terminal illness
