Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield

5.0

wow wow wow this was stunning!!! I mean the obvious thing was the writing, just... wow. like I was honestly fully blown away. like seriously wow! like I knew it would be good but!!! eeeee!!! wow!!!! the scenes from leah's perspective managed to be so eery and really evoked that sense of believable dread in me while the scene's from miri's perspective had just such amazing views on grief and loss it really spoke to me🥲🥲 also the exploration of sapphic relationships was just beautiful. I recommend this to everyone! my only problem was the ending, I expected to have a bit more answers than what we were given. I guess that wasn't the point of the story and all the weird stuff that happened was like a metaphor or whatever but I just felt a lack of closure due to the questions I still had, I think if I went in understanding this a bit better I would have enjoyed it fully though, 4.5 stars!
