I understand if this is the author's writing style but it would have been better if there was a Q&A with her at the end of this book explaining everything that happened. While the book did a good job at exploring the characters' inner psyches, there was way too much going back and forth between storylines, everything was described too vaguely and not very to-the-point, not to mention way too many side characters that detracted from the main plot itself. Speaking of, Anna is a very one-dimensional protagonist in my honest opinion. It would have been great to at least have her show some fear over becoming a diver or at least explain what her main motivation was for doing so other than to just simply prove sexist naysayers wrong.
