I LOVED THIS BOOK. bro andrew never misses. it’s weird, dark, gorier than i usually go for but also so so sweet and very queer with extremely good worldbuilding and characters. i read it all in one day bc i was LOCKED IN i was doing like two vocab words in spanish and then reading more. it kept my attention really well!! i didn’t fully understand the flood (especially the timing / history of the world) and while it wasn’t like 100% necessary i wish we had gotten a little more explanation on how the disease actually worked (and was it started by that lady??? or just a random thing???) 
loved nick and ben so much i wish we learned a teensy bit more about nick but i was still obsessed with him and their journey together. always obsessed with neopronoun use (even if i thought the little explanation they had to give about how benji knew what they were was kind of silly and on the nose.) and every character was so loveable

Oh my God, this book. I am an extreme body horror fan and this was *chefs kiss* perfect. The characters were great, especially Benji the protagonist, and I loved the small breaks in narrative. The story was concise and kept me interested all the way through and dealt with the social and religious aspects in the same vein as the horror. Fucking terrifying and fitting to the society we live in now. Read this book.
