The House in the Cerulean Sea

This is, easily, one of the best books I've ever read. It's warm, it's (mostly) happy, and I loved every bit of it. I can't really put so much of my thoughts into words here. It made me feel so much and I cried my eyes out at the end. I loved the rep (gay protagonist) but also the message and the ending. The protagonist, Linus, really is perfect. He's older than your typical protagonists, he's overweight, he's got a ‘meh' job, is openly gay, and possess a lot of dad energy. I love him dearly.

If I had to point something out that I disliked it'd be perhaps how quick a certain section in the story's final act was. I'd give it one more chapter... Honestly I'd read ten more books about the house in the cerulean sea.
