This book did a phenomenal job of instilling a sense of dread in the reader. I didn’t think it was possible for a book to make me feel claustrophobic, but The Deep did so. It was a great read and has a lot of potential for a reread. My only gripe is that female characters were not fully developed and did not get the same complexity and writing quality as the male characters.
Graphic: Animal death, Body horror, and Animal cruelty
Moderate: Fatphobia and Terminal illness
Minor: Sexual violence, Pandemic/Epidemic, Kidnapping, Eating disorder, Incest, Death of parent, and Gaslighting
