The Deep by Rivers Solomon

This was unlike anything I’ve ever read and although it was captivating, atmospheric and had such powerful writing, i felt like i got lost in understanding what was actually happening. I still would recommend as i think id read it again in the near future when I’m in the mood for a unique story.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the earc.
This was not it for me. I did not care for any of the characters, besides her dad, and the story just felt all over the place and cringe. The only thing i did enjoy were the live journal portions cause the nostalgia always gets me. I had to skim through a bit of it cause i just didn’t care and it felt like i was reading the same things over and over. I don’t have much else to say. I Just upsetting that i didn’t like this as i was hoping for.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for EARC in exchange for honest review.
This made me tear up and it would because it’s a story about grief and trying to find the will to go on without that person you were so close with and the struggles of wishing you could have done more. I do wish their was more story line with C, herself. I loved the friendship and the characters very much & felt the love and pain these two shared.
I’d love to see Emilia and C’s story if it was turned into a romantic relationship, too. Because it gave that impression that their friendship was more.
