If I had a penny for every time I read a book that was a metaphor for grief (of a loved one) in the past few months, I’d have two pennies, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Really liked this book! It was a quick read and a really interesting concept that I think it explored really well even in the short length that it had to work with.

Ported over from my now-abandoned Goodreads:
Deeply, intoxicatingly weird. Charming, visceral, at times painful, but totally worth it. A beautiful exploration of human emotion and a refreshingly utopian take on the "alien apocalypse". Highly highly highly recommend.

This book focuses HEAVILY on the grief of losing a loved one (who does not die, but is very much gone for good). There is also a brief (less than one page) description of a woman eating small fish alive- it is framed as disturbing.
