Terry Hong, Booklist:
“The protagonist is initially a young child who is about to lose her mother—perhaps in a car accident as the cover suggests—leaving both father and daughter understandably bereft. “There is a sadness growing here. Its nature is to consume,” the pages continue. Coping mechanisms include the extreme, “dive therapy” into utter darkness, as well as the more accessible writing and remembering. The “coda”—“and here we are, years later”—offers no easy conclusions, “rarely certain,” accepting a final “ish.” De Souza creates for intrepid readers comfortable with ambiguity.”
