Convince us to read the book: I am a huge ocean and mythology freak, so I absolutely loved this book. It's about a girl, Lena, who uncovers a huge secret in her past dealing with a mother she hardly remembers and a longing for the ocean that she can't explain.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: This book deals with fantasy, but I thought the author did a great job of keeping the magic and fantasy from overpowering the book. It was a good blend of reality and magic.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: There were parts of this book that seemed ill-researched or a bit rough, but overall this book was a great read. It was an easy-to-follow book that is best to read on a beach or somewhere sunny and warm. To me, it's a great summer read.
Cover: I thought the cover was very intriguing. The blues and grays blend together to give the book a mysterious feeling, and the back of the girl's head adds more mystery and intrigue. I thought the cover tied in to the book very well.
Did you finish: Yes
