I absolutely adore memoirs written in this style. Imbler weaves oceanography and queerness and racism and just humanness together so well and I loved every moment of this audiobook

Such a great mix of information, emotion and experiences. This was wonderfully crafted and such an amazing read.
If you're looking to learn about sea creatures and to reflect on society/race/queerness, I highly encourage you to pick this up!

This book was sitting at a solid 4 and then I listened to the essay “Hybrids” and it immediate shot up to a 5.
