A review by amandashestokes
The Deep by Rivers Solomon

4.0

If you’re thinking “ooh, black mermaids, yay!” This won’t be the book for you. If you’re looking for an incredibly introspective novel about what it means to live with a sad, brutal and traumatic history and carry that burden for your people, then this book could be for you. It’s beautifully written and not at all what I thought I was getting into.
