You know the feeling when you want to both inhale and savor a book at the exact same time?
Yeah, this was one of those books. Thank you to the person on Bluesky who recommended this by saying it was a memoir through ocean life because I could not have put it on my TBR faster. I love what Imbler does here, I love how the deep sea life runs through and illuminates every aspect of their own experiences and life...and the reverse is equally true. 
Also the purple octopus.
