I adored this book, picked up after a user I follow recommended it on Booktok. In eleven stories, Sabrina Imbler draws beautiful connections between their life and those tragedies — and wonders — of the ocean and its sea creatures. I felt deeply moved by the queer experiences described in this book, heartbroken by the history illuminated of human’s overconsumption leading to the extinction and struggles of sea dwellers, and inspired to learn, read and do more in cultivating my own immersed connection with the ocean. Really loved this book. Do check content warnings though.
