This is a great companion novel to The Passenger—probably not as great of a standalone (which is fine, that isn’t its purpose). It was neat to get to know Alicia as a person on her own terms but man those terms are bleak. Definitely some extremely not-fun moments. I’d recommend this book but not to anyone with an intense fear of drowning. Or any of the other 18 content warnings.
