Good god i did not need to read this much about fish and dolphins having sex not to mention this felt clumsily written and their actions felt disjointed,
Also please stop referring to large groups of fish/ cetaceans as people

It’s not like The Bees, which I enjoyed more because it was very much from the perspective of one bee. We only knew what the bee knew. This book wandered around between different sea creatures and as a result lost a bit of the unique storytelling the bees had.
There’s a lot of sexual assault in this book - which if you know anything about dolphins should be expected. But I found it difficult in a way one might not expect - as obviously it is dolphins and not humans. You’re very much in the mind of the animals as they experience pain and it’s not pleasant to read.
Certainly worth a read, it’s surprisingly tense and emotively portrays the devastating effects of pollution at sea and overfishing. It’s a book that’ll stay with me.
