The cat is called Sandbag!
This was a fun book. I picked it up on a whim when I was browsing an indie bookstore. Since I loved She Is A Haunting and this cover is really cool, it was an easy decision.
The story is good, and I appreciate the world building and the setting there. It was nice how the MC was sharing random ocean life trivia on a few occasions during the story.
One thing that I didn't like that much, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment, is how some stuff is just too "on the nose" quite a bit. The allegories and parallels and symbolisms are there, but instead of being a bit under the surface, are said (or thought) by the main character quite a few times during the book.
Another very small thing is that there were moments where the MC's mom said stuff to her in Vietnamese, but there was no translation whatsoever. While I'm not the biggest fan of the MC translating thing in their heads so we can understand, I think footnotes should be added there.
It was a good reading, and it does make me curious to see what the author will come up with next.
