I barely even know where to start with this book. It was beautiful, haunting, terrifying. It gave me actual anxiety - that hasn't happened since I read Bird Box years and years ago. I have always been fascinated by the ocean, but also incredibly scared of it. New fear unlocked.
I also lost my father a year ago and we also had a very complicated relationship. Whalefall was a gut punch on an emotional level, too. This book deserves to be famous, to be taught in high schools. It is absolutely astounding and like no other book I've ever read.
