Sabrina Imbler's How Far the Light Reaches is certainly my favorite book I've read so far this year. The natural history memoir is a tiny subgenre, one of my favorites, probably most famous recently for H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. But my favorite people who write it are, very uncoincidentally, queer. Riley Black does it so well for paleontology, and now Imbler is in that same stratum for marine biology. I loved this book. If you haven't read it, go do that.
