So boring and rambling. The main characters are insufferable husks of tropes. Couldn’t stand the writing - it felt like “I’m 14 and this is deep” MySpace quotes - “No OnE tOlD hIm SmOkInG fElT lIKe SeTtInG yOuRsElF oN fIrE”
The Seas by Samantha Hunt
3.0
“When she met my father she was still really good at being quiet. When she met him she realized how she had been collecting silence in a slender, delicate glass jar behind her ribcage. The bottle was not corked and so she always had to be very careful not to spill it. When she met him what happened was he took her out dancing and told her, "You make me feel like a pony." She didn't know what the hell that meant, but it made her damp inside like a flood, so the bottle broke and she didn't care anymore as long as she could have him. All the good silent things she'd been saving up, like lights off in the distance at night or fog in the morning, ricocheted around her insides freed and she'd never felt so good. She went wild for him, taking on his habits, like drinking, driving with only one hand on the wheel, and other dangerous interests, as though they were a new coat cut just for her. She tore about town like a match that had just realized it could burn down the entire village if it wanted to, and she did.”

Planning to revisit when I’m in a better mind space for horror.
