Content Warnings
Graphic: Cancer, Gore, Blood, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Suicide
Intense and emotional. I wasn't prepared for this. Just as much about Jay's relationship with his dad as it is about being inside a whale.
I should have read the author bio first because I also wasn't prepared for the explicit descriptions of illness, injuries, and whale innards.
