• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

-sapphic 

-dual POV

-literary horror

Read if you:

-enjoy stories that explore grief/grieving

-like shorter novels that still pack a punch

-are looking for a love story sans spice

What I enjoyed:

-this was such a lyrical book. It was haunting but not scary like you would think horror would be, this makes me want to classify it as literary horror

-the reader will get to know the main character’s relationship on a deep level, it was a story about love and how we will do anything for those we love

-the author included a lot of interesting information about deep sea exploration
