This was one of the rare books where I loved taking my time with it! I feel like that also fit well with the author style, taking the time to absorb the nuanced bits and hints, and not just racing over them and them getting lost in all the words.

I really loved slowly getting to know Wend more and more through their stories and emotions.
The world-building of one of our possible futures was very well done, and I definitely learned things about marine biology!

One thing that gradually stood out to me most, was how gently inclusive this whole book is. So much variety in ability levels, identities, backgrounds, neurodiversity, love styles and more. It felt like a warm bath.

  Thank you Netgalley and Atthis Arts for providing me with an ARC!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable (best) friends to lovers romance! There were realistic personal problems, and you can really tell that the author has experience in the kind of job Bastian has. I always love it when you have these little details that come from personal experience and give a book an extra layer of immersiveness!
