I fell deeply in love with Evelyn's ocean descriptions, so full of wonder and magic. Those parts made the Lewy bodies sections much more horrifying to read, which is good. The ocean is home to both marvelous and terrible things. I really enjoyed it. Oddly, I didn't care much about the relationship between Todd and Rafi, but was really invested in the island life.
