3.0

I knew this was mostly going to focus on the relationship aspect, but it was slow (and I listen at 2x speed). I appreciated the body horror and even some spiritual and oceanic horror at the end. 

I appreciated all the suspicion set in place about the corporation who sent them to the ocean. Companies get away with horrific things all the time, we don’t always see it in the media, and it doesn’t always get to lawsuits. I like that we never find out if what happened to them was orchestrated.
