Absolutely loved this. I remember Gina Chung from being at The New School at the same time as me and heard nothing but great things about her work. This book delicately interweaves the scientific nature of sea life and climate change with the less quantitative pain and fear of loss expertly. Sentence to sentence, the language is both innovative and accessible. I didn’t want the book to end, which is always a good sign. I can’t wait to read more of her work! (Also I think I’m only going to read books about octopi from now on 🐙)
