Ever wanted to fuck a fish? This is the book for you!

update
Honestly, this book was wild and not at all what I was expecting. It's a deep dive into loneliness, depression and just general life exhaustion as well as sex addiction, with the addition of a literal mer-man. I think, if you can handle a little bit of weirdness, this book really is good. It has some really interesting and poignant discussions about mental health and family that I really appreciated, and from multiple angles and points of view as the main character attends a group throughout the book with different people all dealing with variations of the same issue.

Yeah, this was a truly weird ride because she legitimately fucks a fish-man, but if you can put that to one side for a moment, this truly is a great book and it turns out the fish-man you met along the way was actually a really well-written metaphor used to execute a difficult subject matter and a brilliant ending.
