Atmospheric, eerie and beautifully written.

Usually I don’t like it when a book leaves me with more questions than answers, but this book is the exception. It just works so well with the themes of love, illness, loss and grief. 

The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is that I am a fantasy girly at heart, and would’ve loved to know just a little bit more about the sea creature. I’m desperate to know what Leah wrote about it. 

I will think about Miri and Leah for a long time.
