4.5

A gentle book for anyone feeling stuck, especially amidst different types of loss and fragile relationships. Plus the beauty and mystery of aquariums and sea creatures - I’m a sucker (ha) for an octopus story. Even though I didn’t relate to Ro on every level, the feelings of just numb floating were very real to me and so clearly written. Mercifully, a softly hopeful ending (not a Perfectly Happy Ending ™️), which isn’t always the case with a protagonist like this. Gorgeous debut.
