This is a really interesting book. As a marine biologist I really enjoyed the marine setting and characters. It really brought nuance and an interesting perspective to the issues being tackled. It's also really well written.
My only negatives are subjective as it's just a really sad book. I wanted something to make the story feel cathartic at the end but I didn't really get that. So I was left feeling a little like something was missing for me.
Overall still a great read though and would recommend as long as you don't mind a largely quite sad story.
Oh and definitely check the content warnings if you need to.
