    this book reminds me of the early 2000's romcoms such as Ella Enchanted in such a wonderful way

  • what's the last book that made you cry?

    Sometimes I'm in the mood for a good cry. I think the last book that made me cry was A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, which I was not expecting. I'm currently reading Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, and I already know there will be tears.

  • Bookish questions because I'm a nosy person

    Hello again!šŸ¤— Today I was thinking about how excited I am to do a year wrap up when the year ends (obviously 🤣) and I want to ask you the same questions I asked my self, so here they go: 1- What's your favorite book of the year so far? 2- Which book/books you were so hyped for but ended up being a disappointment? 3- Which new author/authors you found out this year and feel in love with? 4- Which book/books you thought you would give 1 star but ended up giving 4/5 stars? 5- How close are you to complete your reading challenge (if you have one)? I hope everyone has a nice weekend and thank you for letting be your very curious book friend 🤣🫶

    The lack of quotations is making this very difficult for me.

    I have been wanting to reread this and finally got my hands on it again so that I could, it was just as beautiful as I remember it being the first time around. Morgan dreams of getting away. She wants to be away from the home that feels more chaotic than a home to a place where she feels like she can really be herself, something she feels she can't currently do. When she meets Keltie, all these plans that she had laid out for herself are challenged. Keltie and Morgan have a chemistry that is strong and as they spend more time together that only becomes more evident. It's nice to watch their relationship not only form, but to see the changes in Morgan as it does. Incorporating the texts and watching those conversations was a brilliant move. It really goes to show the dynamic between Morgan's friends. It shows so much more than that, but I don't want to talk too much about how important those messages are. There are a lot of topics discussed here, some more than others, but all of it add a beautiful nuance to the story that deepens it. Along with the beautiful story, art is spectacular. Colors are rich and inviting while the expressions and body language really help express subtle differences in the characters and how they function. The Girl from the Sea is a heartwarming coming of age tale that can be reread time and time again and enjoyed by more than just the intended target audience.

    This is a reread and I'm so excited to dive into this again. It's been a few years and I remember nothing other than it was really cute.
