Reading The Seep meant spending a rainy evening in a fantasy world where a benevolent alien invasion has granted us the ability to overcome many of our limitations. But then the protagonist watches their partner go on a path they can't follow, and they begin to pick at the cracks in the veneer of perfection so many of their fellow humans now project. Every page felt like a surprise. I laughed, I cried... I can't recommend this more.
The weirdest, funniest, sweetest page-turner of a book I've read in years
