Review:
I really wanted to like this book. However, this book would be good for background noise if you had nothing else to listen to. It is 6 hours I will never get back. It is not worth putting on hold if you need to do so. Not worth using one of your holds on Libby.
I think I get what the author was trying to do with this book. Grief makes you think of the most random things you don't usually think of. However, the change of characters right when you might be getting somewhere is so very annoying. Now if the author decided this would indeed be a series and fleshed things out a bit more, I imagine the series would be good.
Goodreads Description:
Leah is changed. Months earlier, she left for a routine expedition, only this time her submarine sank to the sea floor. When she finally surfaces and returns home, her wife Miri knows that something is wrong. Barely eating and lost in her thoughts, Leah rotates between rooms in their apartment, running the taps morning and night.
As Miri searches for answers, desperate to understand what happened below the water, she must face the possibility that the woman she loves is slipping from her grasp.
