3.0

I wanted to love this book. The description sounded so promising and it was an anticipated read for me for 2022. 

I love the trans rep. I love the neurodiversity rep. I love the relationships, platonic and romantic. I love the way in which Lore calls out the education system's flaws in teaching reading. Everything else just fell flat. I didn't feel like a lot happened and I was a bit confused by the world under the water. 

This won't likely be a go-to recommendation for me, but I'll keep it on my list.
