I absolutely loved this.
This follows our main protagonist Iris, who is deaf and her journey to find a whale named Blue 55, a hybrid whale who is portrayed as lonely because he can't communicate with people around him, after she writes a song for him to reach out to let him know he's not alone.
The themes of this book are brilliant and I really enjoyed how the author presented the story overall. Iris as a character could be frustrating at times, but all of her actions were understandable.
All in all, a great book and one I think many people should read.
