Beautifully written and bleak but surprisingly funny meditation on losing someone who hasn’t actually died or left. Miri’s wife Leah goes missing for six months on a submarine research trip. When she unexpectedly returns, she’s not the same person who left. Classified as body horror, but the description doesn’t really fit imo (not icky). Not for those that dislike unanswered questions

“Having a Cold, Damp Girl Summer and couldn't be more delighted. A marine biologist plummets to the bleakest bottom of the deep, dark ocean in her submarine, then returns after sort of being lost? Or perhaps just being delayed? Returns...? The versions of her that emerge from her journals, her wife's aching, first-person recollections of their relationship, and the actual unknowable water add up to”

“Wished there was more horror overall but yeah as a fellow ocean/science lesbian Leah was real for that ending”
