‘The Girl who broke the Sea’ by A. Connors
This was a World Book Day purchase from school – teenage fiction – the blurb sounded interesting!
It was a good book (although it does only get 3 stars on 2023’s harsher ratings system).
It follows Lily, a troubled teenager, who goes with her mum to an underwater mining thing. The feeling of tension and claustrophobia was a constant in the novel.
Worth a read, as long as intelligent floaty bacterial life forms and slightly implausible and incredible underwater rescues don’t bother you too much.
