Todd is 100% capturing his story using AI or something. Also, what does he mean "should have ended up together"? Evie being gay, as I suspect, is the least surprising thing but I like it. If that's what happens, I am eager to see how the author carries forward her arc. I am not sure if I like Rafi... but he's been dealt a tough hand. This is good! An easy read, but compelling. Slow, though...

I quite like this cast of characters! Evie is a badass and I'm loving her story. Rafi is also very cool and I'd be kidding if I said I didn't enjoy the Chicago setting. This book is excellent ocean propaganda, but I will not be influenced into any deep-sea ventures. That shit is scary.

New library read! I really liked the environmental, conservationist angle of "The Deluge" and this book is (allegedly) similar in that way. So far it's good, and I need to look up Makatea to get a better understanding of the setting. The idea of living on an island like that is deeply unsettling to me, so I definitely feel a bit perturbed at times while reading descriptions of the island.
