Sea Change by Gina Chung

4.0

At 30, Ro is stuck in a dead-end job working at a mall aquarium, estranged from her mother, alienated from her best friend, and her boyfriend just left her for a mission to Mars. Ro spends her days caring for a giant Pacific octopus, Dolores, who happens to be Ro's remaining link to her missing father. But when a wealthy investor decides to buy Dolores and moves her into a private aquarium, Ro finds herself on the precipice of self-destruction. Is this her last chance to locate her father? A final opportunity to come to terms with her childhood trauma?

SEA CHANGE is all vibes and little plot. It's a story that alternates between the present & the past, and explores love, complex family dynamics, and relationships through Ro's sometimes questionable actions
